juyaku Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Sources for black sub bezel? I'm going to try ebay first most likely for an inexpensive option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Why not buy one of Neils Black bezel subs instead? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juyaku Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Why not buy one of Neils Black bezel subs instead? Ken I don't know if you have inline images off or something, but this particular sub has a PVD'd black bracelet and case. It's (I'm assuming) a fantasy model, but it looks cool for a beater for 80 bucks. I actually found some bezels on ebay that worked great as a replacement for my older Abay sub, I just purchased another, hopefully it will fit this one also. If not, no big deal, the ebay bezel was $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 No its ok I see, I just thought he had added one shot like that for effect (hes done that before) but yeah the watch is actually PVDed. I quite like the looks of it now, with a black bezel might be to much black, still your watch you decide. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFlash Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 That sounds cool to me. Make sure and post some pictures when project is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miquel Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Wow, that sure is different looking! But, it looks like a good alternative to the ever popular SST. Show us some pics when it's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 a blue insert would be cool as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Try CZ diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TTK Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think the black bezel would be quite cool.....very 'mil spec'.......and disposable at 80 buxx...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsph Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 ttk: any way you could source the black bezel insert yourself, or could the manufacturers of this particular watch, even if the customer does the replacing? very interesting item... jsph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce79 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 If you go the ebay route, try Clarks. I recently got one from him and it's great quality (only $15) though it will have to be milled down. Not sure if you want to put the work in for a fantasy watch lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you want to put the work in for a fantasy watch lol Already got 2 from ebay user kurtiyu. Fast, ships from HK, the pearl is quite good, and they are CHEAP! $5 each + $3 shipping = 2 bezels for $13. I have a backup for when my SS sub bezel falls off (it did once already and kurtiyu's bezels fit perfectly (Abay/aspire sub) and I can use the other for this project. Don't worry, I will have pics as soon as I get the watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce79 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Not that it matters for this project but the bezels that fit without modification tend to be inaccurate. The font is generally too thin and they don't have the same texture as the gen. Too metalic, not glossy. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
