hologramet Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I picked up a spare case via a M2M-deal a couple of months ago. Being bored at night semi-watching a movie I started turning it into a CG-free and thin-lugged case.The question now is... Where can I find a suiting bezel assembly? (Preferably one that won't drain my wallet completely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Difficult to ascertain without knowing more about the case origin, but looking at the construction of the case, and there areas for the click spring/stud, I think its safe to say, the bezel will be retained with a click wire.

Or should I do some measuring first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 This would be from a 16610 rep from a few years back, as ssteel says, with the click stud assembly. It may or may not take the bezel with the paper clip wire assembly.It does have the wokky rehaut! But you don't have the lugholes in the case. I think you'd do better to get a more suitable case myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It won't take a TC bezel, I know that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hologramet Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Darn... Isnt there anything I can do with this one?Put on a fluted bezel? Explorer bezel? Anything? Fantasy/franken-watches is not an issue... Thinking of doing a sterile Seamaster 300-dialed + sword hands...It such a shame, as the case is in a fantastic shape now after all the TLC i gave it...

hologramet Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 No-one?Im open to unorthodox solutions too... I was thinking of putting a "steel"-Yachtmaster bezel-insert) in... The big questions is just... how... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Now that you know how to take off cgs, why don't you just buy a cheap rep and go to work on that? That way you'll have the bezel and should be good to go.You're rep case isn't even engraved, so it's really not much of a case to begin with.

occb2 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 That case could be made in a million places. If your looking for bezels to fit you have to measure and even then there is no guarantee. You might have to mod by sanding a little. A TC bezel assembly fits Gen spec case as would star time assembly. Before you worry about what bezel fits worry about how your crystal is going to fit. To me this is NOT a 16610 case, so don't waist your money on TC or ST stuff. I would most likely go for the lower end spectrum watches. I may have a few. They are held on by a small wire.and the crystal is pressed into a very small gasket. It might be worth not using this and go for a TC or ST case to start. Good luck.
