Quick Warning On 187 Bezel Markers

Recommended Posts

I have the Honpo version and those markers are screwed down tightly. That is the good news. The bad is that you have to be careful when polishing (even by hand) the markers. I ran the cape cod one too many times across the bezel markers and what I am finding is that I have worn away the chrome (??) coating on the base metal of the bezel markers. So polish gently. Similarly, if you really whack the bezel in the wrong way you can similarly end up looking at the base metal which looks like copper or some other similarly colored metal. :)

every version has his own problems...somewhere bezel markers are falling off somwhere are loosing coating...

well, this are just reps and we have to know that the quality will never match a gen...but after all both versions are great reps...

You can get plating kits where you "paint" on the plating with a felt tip of sorts. That would probably be able to replate the markers in place fair easily.

Ofrei's and other jeweller supply stores have them
