Frazzle1 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Ive just dropped my 6538 and cracked the Plexi and smashed the acrylic Pearl. I've not long had it back from Rolie who put the plexi in for me. He's thankfully agreed to take a look at I again, and thankfully this isn't an expensive plexi...don't know what I'd do without him That said I'm going to need to find a replacement bezel pearl and/or bezel insert. Do any of you guys have anything in your parts bins to help me out? The Pearl, Dial and Hands were all relumed by Big Dazza so I've sent him a PM to see if he has anything, but I'd thought I'd throw it out there. Could cry right now!

alterego Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 If I were you (just a thought) I'd get a new plexi and leave the bezel as it is. Three 6538 gens I have seen in person bezels have the pearls missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle1 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks for the advice guys. The watch is now back with Rolie who has in hand a new lumed pearl from Big Dazza and a Generic Tropic No. 21 plexi fresh in from cousins for sanding and fitting. Can thank Neil enough for his willingness to help again. Last minute decision....I have ordered a new bezel insert from Yuki. It's not going to look as battered as it once was but at least the insert won't be bent. Spec Sheet: Case: Silix, lugs re-drilled and polished and gen spec 2mm spring bars fitted (Daz). Spring bar ends rounded for more gen look (Daz). Lugs and case shaped, softened and polished (ROLIE) Bezel: Silix Bezel insert: Yuki with Yuki acrylic pearl relumed by Daz Crown: Athaya 8mm Brevet V2 Dial: Raffles time dial relumed and textured by Daz Hands: Raffles time Minute and Hour aged and relumed by Daz Movement: Genuine Swiss ETA 2879 Plexi: Rolex Generic Tropic Glass No. 21 (custom lowered by Rolie) Bracelet: StoneP Rivet bracelet new in. Will need some sanding and softening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
