Journeyman Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi All, I bought a 2011 Explorer II from Trusty a couple of months ago and despite the incorrect hand stack, I really like the watch so was a bit p'ed off when I noticed that the paint on the 4 of the 24 was chipped. Does anyone know whether the bezel is replaceable and if so where can I source one from, I may even consider a gen bezel if the BP version can take one and I can find one, any advice greatly received. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 There is a mod for this I think, quite easy one too.......buggered if I remember where it is though, I'll have a look for you Bezel should be replaceable not sure if it's Gen construction though, and i agree I love mine too, just waiting for a well priced Gen to come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphisbigdave Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Why can you not just touch up the paint? The numbers are deeply recessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Why can you not just touch up the paint? The numbers are deeply recessed. I've tried with an oiler and semi-matt enamel but the finish isn't what I'm looking for, so either the oiler tip is too broad or my skill level isnt up to it.

AlanW3010 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'd appreciate an answer to this too. ALL the paint came out of my "6". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
