slay Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 ...Just not for the expensive reps! the picture below shows a cheap 10$ canal street rep of the 187... Somehow its possible to make those cheapos with a one-piece Bezel, but not the 350$ ones, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow its possible to make those cheapos with a one-piece Bezel, but not the 350$ ones, huh? What a pile of crap that looks nothing like the gen - thank god they don't make them in one piece!! The Honpo version has the markers screwed on from under the bezel (just like the gen). The real problem with the Honpo version is the markers are made of copper then chrome plated. If you scratch or scrape them the copper will shine through. It is also not advisable to polish them either!!! The cheaper 187 has better finished markers (not so tall and with the correct rounded edges) but stuck on with glue and not sure if they are steel or copper!!! The markers on the rep in the pic are totally the wrong shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
