reganecr Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 since my wm9 bezel came flawed id like to purchase a new gen bezel thanks Regan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 They come and they go. From time to time, you may find a bezel ring with an insert, but the only way to do it right is to get the entire assembly, from the retention ring up. That way you don't have to fiddle with getting the gen bezel to fit the WM9 retention ring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reganecr Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) yea ofcourse but if i have to buy the whole retainer kit with the bezel ring and everything gen its goin to be quite a burden on my wallet heh what kind of mod do i have to do to get the gen bezel to fit on my wm9v2 Edited August 23, 2009 by reganecr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I was WARNED NOT TO buy the wholesale outlet assembly by BK. for $40 MORE than that price I just bought the WM9v1 case and bracelet with everything in it. ONLY excluding the movement of course... BUT I had a spare ETA. the only thing i've bought from wholesaleoutlet is their bezel inserts, which have inconsistent quality in the print between orders, so I may NOT even buy from them again.

frutta007 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey guys... Do you put gen bezel by yourselves or give to somekind of workshop.. And if by yourselves - is it easy, cause i'm afraid to do it by myself, i think that i can break something)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 frutta. if you mean the bezel ring with the insert than its pretty easy to push on. If you mean the whole assembly thats slightly more difficult but not very. you do need a way to press on the retaining ring over the crystal tho and thats probably the hardest part, also aligning things correctly if you're anal about esthetics, as I like the click spring to sit at a certain point and the bezel insert triangle to sit in the ring between certain coin edges on the ring.
