Thanks. So I suppose the Sean bezel looks close to gen? Where can I find those?

Gen insert fits Sean bezel no problem, right?

You need to buy a complete case from Sean, or buy my Sean bezel assembly

That can vary from 450-700 USD

For bezel, retaining ring, and insert?

I can't find on TRF

[dan_189]

They aren't easy parts to find I had to do a lot of inquiring. Anticipate anywhere between $250 and $700 for the bezel alone, they are the prices I've found. Or check out ebay!

I got insanely lucky on a gen retaining bezel sold at NR off eBay for 22.50 shipped and tracked it came and checked out as gen

[Ephry73]

IRolexu, is that the one that had the insert as well?

How did you verify it was gen? Just by looking?

Watch smith went over it he knows Rolex parts just as good as any expert plus the fit to the Sean case was undeniably perfect tight fit.

Was that from the seller: a-and-e-watches on ebay just curiously?

[irolexu]

No I do not believe so...my WM took care of it for me so I am not ruling that it but I thought the seller was someone else...

[fidhle007]

The sean bezel and retaining ring are smaller then gen and the gen is smaller the the TC so in short, each bezel will fit only it's home retaining ring.

[irolexu]

I found the gen retaining ring to be smaller due to the tight fit compared to

[dan_189]

I found that the Sean retaining ring to be too small as well, wouldnt hold the gen bezel on it correctly.

Let me get this clear.

The retaining ring is that big thing that attaches firmly to the case and holds the crystal in place right? There's a separate flat washer that is flimsy and fits on top of the retaining ring and under the bezel?

If so, aren't these like impossible to source?

Yes and yes

[Guest Daytona1984]

can anyone confirm if an asian super clone 3135 will fit into the TC v4 v-serial case?

don't want to cut the feet of my gen dial and also want to use the gen hands... Any help is much appreciated :-)

[fidhle007]

You might have to use the Yuki 3135, as not all SA3135s will fit gen hands. As I responded in your other thread though, it will fit the TC case.
