ubiquitous Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Oops... DL beat me to the punch! Some 4th generation models will accept with no mods. Some do require mods. If you have the one from Narikaa or the so-called 5th generation with the scalloped edge bezel, the gen bezel will not physically fit...

ubiquitous Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Supposedly out of production... But if you look hard enough, I'm sure you can find one. I just sold an unmodded one a few months ago... And of course, I modded the one I kept... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingray Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Poss stupid question.....how do you tell a 4th Gen version?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Probably the easiest way to identify the 4th gen is to look for the following: -He Valve positioned slightly above 10:00 on the case. -He Valve is rather low/short in profile (more accurate with regard to gen). -Coin edged bezel (as opposed to the scalloped edge bezel on the 5th gen and POrikaa). -Minute hand slightly too short. -Date window position in relation to the 3:00 hour marker on the dial. To illustrate, take each of the aspects above and correlate to the pics below: Hope this helps... Cheers, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
