If you have gen like bezel construction, it will fit, but I'm guessing you don't!

To get gen like bezel construction, it's got to be WM9, Euromariner/MBK, late model BK/TWB, TC sub or a Sean 16610 case. Me thinks Prohunter is none of those!

 

We'd all love to find a 16610 case w/ gen bezel construction in a rep watch for $250!

Bk's Sub is one of the few that will take a gen crystal. But check with Bert first before you buy it to make sure.

I have a BK sub c but to be honest, I don't see how it could look much better than it already does. I think the biggest improvements would be the lume and the glidelock clasp.

Well is there any generic crystal that would fit the trusty prohunter that doesn't have a giant LEC on it?

You have to remove the Prohunter crystal and measure it- is it 30.5mm? Then you can swap in another crystal off of a Chinese sub rep that measures the same- maybe 30.5mm. Hopefully the Cyclops will line up ok.

If the Cyclops doesn't line up, you have to pop it and reglue with uv glue in the right place.

I'll have to measure with my dial calipers. Maybe Clark makes one that fits?

No date model

Stick with TC subs for franken projects.

In the works :)
