correctime Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Hey guys: It's no wonder the 42mm Planet Ocean is so popular. It's simply an awesome piece. QUESTIONS regarding 42mm PO Franken parts on a 5th generation PO 1- can the gen bezel assembly AND crystal be used together....... ( it seems I've read somewhere that using them both together requires addt'l mods as the crystal will be too tall...for perhaps the rep crystal gasket can be used or correct crystal height without preventing it from still being waterproof.........?? 2- can the gen bezel assembly be used with the rep. crystal..... ? 3- will a gen bezel insert fit the rep bezel assembly...........? If anyone that has done these Frankens mods can shead some info I really appreciate it. Edited August 27, 2011 by correctime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Worth a bumps as I'd live to know the answers too. Only got bezel and crystal left to do on mine. I like the crystal as it is and I'm considering using a gen pearl in a donor insert, whose is the best insert to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just doing the research before I order my gen bezel and crystal. Bump!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 All fit fine, just use the rep gasket for crystal (afaik the gen gasket works also but haven't tried it) Also the gen bezel just clicks on, no bother with heights etc, just use the rep bezel click spring, (also I've heard the gen click spring works fine but can't confirm it for certain) Just to add, when we look at the rep its great but the gen crystal is like nothing comparable, even modders aftermarket AR (which is excellent) and is nicer than the rep AR, but once the gen crystal is on the transparent effect on it just looks fantastic and really make the dial shine, especially now that we have summer on the way it will highlight the effect.

danza1812 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 That's good to know. If only I could get the rep bezel off the darn case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 That's good to know. If only I could get the rep bezel off the darn case! Just slip a thin knife under it and gently work your way around. It should just pop off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just slip a thin knife under it and gently work your way around. It should just pop off. Cheers Woof. That did the trick. Now any advice on installing a gen crystal? ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 when installing a gen crystal, do i place the gasket in the case first then press the crystal? Or attach gasket to crystal then press into place? I dont want to bend or tear my gasket. Thanks in advance guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Fit the gasket in the case the right way up then the crystal squarly on top and use a press to push it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks very much for that Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
