Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 This one mate : http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=170838596185 And yes, he is a slimball with his prices, [censored] [censored] that we need him when we can't get them anywhere ells
alligoat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Here's what Rolexaddict and others are using for the bezel assembly http://www.ebay.com/itm/RETAINING-RING-BEZEL-INSERT-FOR-ROLEX-OLD-GMT-BLUE-1675-/170838595332?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c6c61704 Maybe you get the one with the Pepsi insert, instead of the blue insert, but the seller is still wholesaleoutlet990.
woof* Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Im sure everyone's got a story, but I've been lucky with that seller. Purchased from him maybe 20-30 times over the last five years and all orders have been fine. Of course I'm probably hexing myself and the next time will be a mess..but so far no problems.
eVojlib Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 I hear that clark offers a bezel assy for the 1675 as well, and the best way is to email him. I have yet to see anyone using one on their watch though as I was unaware that clarks was producing these. So wo knows if its good or bad, im sure there are others that may offer to sell just the bezel assy but cost may be a factor. Puffy has a gen bezel assy over at TRF, sure its close to $500.

Purchased from him maybe 20-30 times over the last five years and all orders have been fine. Of course I'm probably hexing myself and the next time will be a mess..but so far no problems. I also bought from him and he has great stuff, but the prices are crazy!!! I hear that clark offers a bezel assy for the 1675 as well, and the best way is to email him.

Now this intresst me. Do you have his email? Clarks email that is
woof* Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Puffy sold the bezel set, he was asking 550 pounds.

Rolexaddict Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Funny story : WSO is THE ONLY ONE RIGHT NOW TO SELL the complete bezel assembly, no other way, 35usd express shipping to France, 30 days to wait the express... 38 euros customs fees at arrival in France, Are you sure you want I build a 1675 for you ??? to expensive ?? The strange story : I wanted to test another way to build 1675 : the Yuki watch case... looks good, slim, 5.3mm crown; etc. etc. cost 550usd I asked and got an email : not in stock, finish, the machine is brocken... lol, Curiously, no 1675 case available from NDT nor from Phong, so for me, it means the only one machine to fabric 1675 cases for Yuki, Phong and NDT is brocken...
archierocks Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 lol RA i have everything else yuki dial and hands gen crown and tube the 7mm one as i like the look of it gen 116 Crystal gen faded insert 1655 case which i still need to work on my josh 1655 came with a 16610 stamped back lol ordered tonight eta movement and movement holder to fit the yuki dial and hands and the wso bezel set minus the retainer but hope he checks his mails
Mapman57 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 OP - apart from the stamping, I believe the shape of the Josh 1655 case back is wrong as well? Should have the flat central disc, not smooth bubble back.
archierocks Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Posted May 24, 2012 so wholesaleoutlet emails me he has the retaining ring listed on ebay for $69.00 in his email he says the following hi just send payment through paypal for $100 and i will add it to your order make sure you do it today brilliant good effort so il just give you $31.00 for free then

I just got a midcase from Phong with engravings. A bezel assembly from here: http://stores.ebay.com/VINTAGE-MODERN-PARTS-WATCHES?_trksid=p4340.l2563 He Asks 350usd for bezel set ! but i offered him 200usd and he accepted. Gen crystal fits perfect, gen insert had to be shaved ... Josh 1655 case is crap for a 1675, totally wrong even for a 1655... Here's pics Cheers P.
archierocks Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Posted May 24, 2012 i only got the 1655 case as loads of people said it was the way to go
Ephry73 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 Star time suppliers have the parts for the acrylic gmt. Their prices are decent.
archierocks Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Posted May 24, 2012 im waiting on some other parts from startime just a nightmare getting it through customs just now
