Good source for a Generic tropic 21 with the angle/facetted corners

Everybody Hi,

Did anyone can give me a good source for generic / replacement tropic 21 with angled/facetted corners?

Clarks' ones are ok but with rounded corners and I don't have the cash to go for a gen.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,

62mas.

I put a couple of gen Tropic 21s on my DWs. Indeed you need to shave the bezel, but I found it easier to shave then polish the outer edge of the plastic crystal instead. If the J&K crystal is a direct replacement for the Rolex one, something will need to be shaved. I also tried the rounded generic replacement that I can get from my parts supplier and it too needs shaving, indicating that the DW bezel is slightly undersized, probably because of the crystals he could get when originally fabricating his product. Don't force it, as you will crack the insert on a DW 6263 bezel.
