correctime Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I received my Clark's bezel yesterday and put it on my TC case. I didn't have a crystal in the case, so the bezel wasn't tight to the case. I have a gen 16610 bezel on another TC sub and the Clark's is spot on to the gen. I installed a gen insert in the Clark's and it went in without a problem. This is a very good upgrade to the stock TC bezel. That's exciting news.

JoeyB Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 This is the link to his Ebay store. If you don't see something you need, email him and ask. He has stuff that isn't listed. http://stores.ebay.com/Clark-Watch-Parts?_rdc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtools Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi Guys, I checked his auctions, but he currently doesn't have a listing for one. Here is the link to the bezel that I received: http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_1340wt_1270 Hope this helps, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I emailed him a couple days ago but haven't heard back yet. Meanwhile I got my TC sub, I installed a gen insert this morning, it snapped right in. Unless you guys tell me the TC looks bad and the Clark looks or operates better ill probably stay like I am. My worry was the insert in the TC bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I got an email from Gary today. He said he will be listing more if these bezel sets later tonight or tomorrow. Even though my insert fit, I'm still thinking about adding this bezel if it is more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 That sounds interesting, Mercedes hands? Yep, but it may be another month or so yet. The ones he has are diamond cut, flat. He is getting the gen looking curved hands made both for Rolex and for Tudor that fits our Asian ETA movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi Joey, thanks for the reply..but I'm still confused. You are using the Clark submariner bezel for the sapphire Explorer/Gmt conversion? Maybe I'm confused! The case that bklm1234 has in his thread looks as though would work well with this bezel assemble for a gen-like 16710. Am I wrong? Do you know where the "SL'd 40mm Exp" is from?

No I don't know, are you saying use this clark sub bezel set for a GMT build using that explorer case? I just bought the sub bezel set and might use it for y TC sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought the sub bezel set and might use it for y TC sub Yes. I asked earlier and was answered, and confirmed with Clark's that the bezel for the 16610 and 16710 are the same, the click spring is different. So, I figure if I can get that case I can improve my 16710. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polexpete Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I just got mine and installed on my Euromariner cased LV. Quality is pretty good, the crystal retaining ring is much better quality than the stock Euromariner one. The problem is the actual click and fit. It doesn't click like a gen in fact its almost silent. Also its a little sloppy. I tried beding the click spring so it would engage the teeth more but didn't make much difference. I don't have a gen insert but my aftermarket fits well but still needed to be cemented in. So conclusion is it looks good and quality is up there but action is poor. But for the money you can't really complain... Here the pics: Cheers P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hmmmm....well to be fair a euromariner may not be the exact same as a TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hmmmm....well to be fair a euromariner may not be the exact same as a TC? True, but just wanted to show overall quality. If TC are supposed to be gen spec then using both the Clark crystal retaing ring and bezel shouldn't be a problem. Maybe using the TC retaining ring and Clark bezel is where the problem lies in the fit. Cheers P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
