Anybody here have experience fitting a wso bezel assembly to a cartel case? If so, what crystal could you recommend. This is a JKF 5513 stamped 1680 on the case. I’ve gone through the ofrei t-19’s and a Clark’s so far. The original setup was glued in place, crystal and retainer were both glued to the case.

The WSO bezel assembly is not the best quality, I would say it is the money not worth.
I used the cartel bezel assembly and sternkreuz t19 (303mm) I expanded the retainer ring with 600 Sandpaper. After that I pressed the retainer ring on the crystal and got it tight without glue. Waterproof tested till 8bar.
Have you measured your retainer ring? There are two different versions on the market.
Cartell case's with domed crystal have ~30.1mm.
Cartell case's with date cyclops crystal have 30.38mm.

If you're from Europe you can order it from cousins they have it too.Where did you source a tension washer? I have a red 1680 that never came with one, and my bezel has the same play as yours did.

I tried to get my cartel case water tight with an 32mm x 1mm gasket, unfortunately it is not tight. Which size is correct? 1.2mm? 1.5mm?
I found only an source for 1.5mm thick gaskets. -
What is the price for an eta 2836?

If you come frome the EU, I can recommend cousins. The sternkreuz crystals T19 is there cheap available in two different sizes.
Depends on the retainer ring, it is better when the size is smaller and have material for sanding off.
Phong (Vietnam) have nice bezel assemblies.
Startime has also bezel assemblies, but I don't know the quality.
