buddydog Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 YES...it is possible. V5 EVO Tungsten bezel will fit on a V1 without any mods. Unfortunately, it's not possible to purchase a Tungsten bezel separately at this time. I had to buy a complete V5 EVO to trade with the PVD bezel on my V1 Loosetime modded Ice Bang. Look for this V5 EVO (with PVD bezel) on a discounted sale later this weekend on RG. It's definitely worth it. The bezel adds to the 'gen' feel of an already superb watch. This is not a review but just some quick observations from handling both bezels the same time...... +7 layers of machine knurling on the Tungsten bezel verus 5 layers of machine knurling on the PVD V1 bezel. +Substaintial weight difference between the two bezels. I couldn't find a scale to weight the bezels but it was very obvious. Quick Google search: tungsten is more dense than steel. In general, it is more than twice as dense as steel. The density of tungsten exceeds 19 grams per cubic centimeter, and steel, though it has a varying density owing to its different alloys, has a density on the order of 8 grams per centimeter, or perhaps just a bit less. +The brushed finish was somewhat visible on the PVD unit but the Tungsten brushed finish is heavenly.

anics Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ha! I KNEW it would fit! Well, that's that then. Well done in getting hold of one and proving once and for all that it will fit a V1 - shame you had to shell out for the V5 though... I'll keep a look out for it Great looking watch now! Well done A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
