irolexu Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I am trying to source a genuine or made to genuine specs bezel assembly and wonder of any of the members have a good source? Also where would I source these parts and what am I expected to pay for gen or gen specs aftermarket? Thanks and this is for my TW best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You will need a bezel, insert and crystal retaining ring as the rep retainer is not made to identical specs. you will be looking at a cost of around £300-400 for all that if you are lucky enough to find them. Ebay is where I found mine but you have to be quick. This is how it can look on a TW watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnicolini300 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 A local jewelry shop has a bezel assembly for 700 USD but if there is good aftermarket I would l Love to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I will be listing my bezel assembly as soon as I have pics. Insert, bezel, spacer and click spring. No retainer ring. All gen. Aftermarket can be found on flea bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftermarket can be found on flea bay. Perfect find! & I've got a new WM9 retainer ring I could let go. All he'll need to do is trim the bottom of the insert & a bit off the top of the retainer and he'll be good as gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reputable watch guy who sells them and he says they are 1:1 made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 This is a WM9 Version 2 but it is the same as the TW case etc. Everything you see on that watch is genuine apart from the hands, mid case and date wheel. All the other parts are gen incluidng bezel assembly and retainer, crystal, dial, crown and tube and complete 93250 bracelet! I miss this watch as I sold it a little while ago but I have a gen ceramic Sub to cheer me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
