jonsydney Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi guys Will a BK TW Sub take a gen bezel movement? Have been admiring a mate's gen sub and find the finish and "sparkle" of the gen bezel piece very attractive. It really adds to the overall presence of the watch. cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 It should. It can definitely be made to fit, at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsydney Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks for the response sneed. I tries searching for a bit but couldn't find the relevant info. Next thing is sourcing one, and finding out at what cost. I have no doubt a new gen bezel would go for something close to the price of a bk sub itself? Lol Not sure if anyone else gets what I mean by it, but the build quality and crispness of the material on the edges of the gen bezel simply make the overall watch for me. Have been looking at plenty of bk photo reviews online and everything else looks pretty spot on bar this bloody bezel "sparkle". Call me mad.

watcher Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 A gen bezel is far better cut I agree but if you fit a gen bezel you will need a gen retaining ring too unless you want to grind down the TW retainer to fit. It is a not a 1:1 part unfotunately and needs trimming to work smothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsydney Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks watcher. How much would a gen bezel and retainer run for? I assume bk could easily do this sort of work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I just got an entire gen bezel assembly for my TW pics coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
