BK TW Sub... will it fit a gen bezel?

[jonsydney]

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

It should. It can definitely be made to fit, at any rate.

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.

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.

Thanks watcher. How much would a gen bezel and retainer run for? I assume bk could easily do this sort of work?

I just got an entire gen bezel assembly for my TW pics coming soon

What sort of ballpark cost was that?!

I gotta buddy who hooked it up for 575 I'll ask around for another one if available
