w.genzo Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Has anyone already seen it in person? Looks quite good from the pics, and he says "The bezel is polished and it is very crisp on all the edges" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 The edges do look crisp. The whole thing looks a little thin to me though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm getting one for a project. Once I he then I'll measure them up. Will be a BK/ gen mixup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 He also has a 1675 complete bezel assembly with the insert that looks pretty good.. deep teeth cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I bought his brand new 1675 bezel assembly last week. It seems very crisp and well made. It came with the crystal retaining ring, bezel, friction washer, and insert. It was 40$ when I bought mine but he's raised the price to 50$. I hadn't noticed a new sub bezel, does that come with retaining ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtools Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yes, bezel, retaining ring, and click spring...$42 w/free shipping. I have one coming, should be here today or tomorrow. I'll post how it looks compared to a gen 16610 bezel. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I guess I need to find that link and order the assembly. The other 16800 bezel I have is giving me fits- damn aftermarket parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was going to use a TC case, but the BK will probably work better for what I need as I am trying to build a 16800. Clark's bezels should ease a lot of suffering. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Does anyone know if the 16610 bezel is the same as the 16710 bezel in looks and dimension? If so, can the 16710 click spring work on the 16610 bezel to be bi-directional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I bought the Clark GMT bezel to turn a cartel explorer into a GMT. The cartel explorer has gen bezel construction to make us possible. Why are you guys interested in the Clark sub bezel? Are you hoping it's better than the ones that come on the TC or Wm9 subs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Why are you guys interested in the Clark sub bezel? Are you hoping it's better than the ones that come on the TC or Wm9 subs? Yes.

gavidoc Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yep. A gmt click spring works fine. I've had one on all my gen subs as I love bidirectional bezels. Clark's are not as stiff as a gen which makes turning in both directions easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w.genzo Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Gavidoc's 16800 is gen Yes it's a complete bezel assembly. Tc's bezel is ok but bezel teeth are quite different when compared to gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastersdom Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I've had real trouble fitting a gen insert to my new TC Sub. Fantastic watch overall but sorry to say I gave up and reduced the diameter of the gen insert as I don't have the tools to increase the internal diameter of the bezel.

You are using the Clark submariner bezel for the sapphire Explorer/Gmt conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic watch overall but sorry to say I gave up and reduced the diameter of the gen insert as I don't have the tools to increase the internal diameter of the bezel. Had to shave a tiny amount off my insert too but got there in the end, I think some of the bezels are slightly smaller than others, Fantastic watch mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6now Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Has anyone bought this already and put it on the TC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 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? Well, I might. The 16610 is a sapphire Submariner. Sounds like an alternative that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtools Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
