live1 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 i don't know zockker said he can do it and i believe he will as he did his
dbane883 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Is not crystal gasket It is the thin white nylon gasket which hold bezel over the retaining ring Very hard to get, but I'm working on it M, Are you talking about the tiny "Friction gasket" at the inside bottom of the bezel? This is one time use only? just like the retaining clip that holds the insert into the bezel?
coffindodger Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 What a laff! I'm enjoying this thread so much. Keep it going guys, can't wait for the next instalment lol
glight2000 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Posted June 7, 2014 My highly respected assembler has expressed also concerns about mounting the insert/bezel assembly. After a week of shitting bricks, I've progressed to shitting liquid while awaiting his updates.
live1 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 same here my modder is crazy good but we are scared about this one
bwhitesox Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 same here my modder is crazy good but we are scared about this one He sounds quite the opposite of this to be honest...Get someone that knows what they're doing.
live1 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) hes done it before .but removing the insert is the only hard part.we can mount the bezel assembly on the v3 in one peice easily just push in place but it will squash the bezel gasket causing the bezel to sit low.and not turn super tight.so we have dismantling it and put it together on the v3.all good it will be finished soon.the second 116610 true super franken.i want the bezel to be super solid,no play whatsoever,if you just push it on all assembled it rocks about Edited June 7, 2014 by live1
Pablo2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Hi guys, I am also in the process of building a franken sub c, I'm using the noob v3 case and have a gen bezel set which I'm currently trying to install, the bezel set came assembled and when I fit it to the v3 case it sits about 1mm off and there is a visible gap between bottom of bezel and case. The noob bezel sits perfectly on the case so there must be a slight difference between the noob and gen bezel sizes? As live1 said the bezel assembly will push on but the click and turn isn't as tight as It should be? Any advice would be a great help?
live1 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 you need to dissasemble the assembly to make it rock solid that means remove insert.my modder is crazy good.mine is basically done
live1 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 oh yes the gen bezel is taller thsn the noob i think,looking at pics of them next to eachother.the v3 case dimensions ain't same as gen
Pablo2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Yes looking at the inside of the bezels the gen is taller, this maybe why the gen bezel will not sit tight to the v3 case. Gen bezel is on right in pic Splitting the bezel assembly up is a job I will leave for my modder! I've bought a gen bezel set for my new noob DSSD too, you think the problem will be the same with that?
live1 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 it will sit tight to the case mine is rock solid no movement tight click sounds,so is my modders
Pablo2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 The gen bezel assembly is now fitted on your v3 franken, that's good news!
glight2000 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Posted June 12, 2014 it will sit tight to the case mine is rock solid no movement tight click sounds,so is my modders How did you get it to sit tight to the case? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
live1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) you my modder removed the insert from the gen assembly,then dismataled the assembly,then put it on the watch,after putting gen dial hands crystal Edited June 13, 2014 by live1
live1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 The gen bezel assembly is now fitted on your v3 franken, that's good news! yes its finished he did it so fast

live1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) u will need a tc dwo if your using the gen dial apparently because the v3 dwo is not printed centred on all numbers only about half.all v3s are like this. Edited June 13, 2014 by live1
live1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 he uused a tool type thing to remove the insert from the gen bezel .unfortunately we cannot communicate too well as his english is not 100% .but dam he knows his stuff
dbane883 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Is that a gen crystal. Maybe its just me, but that fore arm/hand looks real creepy
live1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) every thing gen on my v3 apart from case,and braclet every thing gen on my v3 apart from case,and braclet and crown,but i have the gen crown in the post and gen clasp cost 109 pounds to build. Edited June 13, 2014 by live1
