TheH Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hello there, I just received a TAGHeuer Carrera 43mm Chrono with Brown Dial and Bezel from one of the trusted dealers, but the brown bezel looks weird, it doesn't have a metal aluminum shine to it, looks opaque, everything else looks top notch. Now I'm wondering if I should return it and try to get a corrected replacement, or is it possible to fit the original bezel onto this 43mm rep case, and if so what's a good place to buy it and how much? What do you guys think? I'll post pictures when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheH Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Here are a few shots of the watch, the bezel has a dull or matte finish, it doesn't have the aluminum metallic finish it should, everything else is top notch, but the bezel looks totally wrong, not what I would expect for a $340 replica from a trusted dealer. The pictures he sent me before shipping had the plastics on and everything looked good, (and everything else is) but after taking the plastic cover off the bezel I found the issue. Is there a way to get the bezel replaced? I emailed the dealer and so far all I got was a reply for me to "look at it underneath the sunshine" I'm waiting to see if I can get any help from him.. I've only read good things about this dealer, but right now I'm feeling very disappointed. What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjf2187 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 You can pull the thin layer of plastic off of it to reveal the shiny finish under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjf2187 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Never mind, I didnt reallize that you already removed the thin layer of plastic. Just ensure that you actually did. use an exacto knive to peel away at the layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
