slay Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I tried to replace my DW's tropic 21 and I'm having a grad time finding one that fits with the black bezel. I tried one aftermarket bezel (expensive bezel!) and the DW bezel, both are too tight for Clarks T21, Sternkreuz T21 and J&K T21.Before I start missing the bezel, does anyone have an idea why none of them fit? Are the replacement plexis too thick or is the rehaut a micrometer too thick on the DW case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 No Daytona expert but a gen service t-21 fit my DW 6263 with the stock DW bezel. Same here, on all my DWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have 2 of the first 5 Daytonas that DW ever sold. Halley has (some of) the others. Note there were two versions of the MM cases; if there's a bulge at the crown tube it's a v2 and if the profile of the case across the tube thread area is "flat" ie: no bulge, it's a v1.

tomhorn Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 DW's cases were not very consistent with regards to sizes, which may explain why some people didn't have issues. His older cases were better in this regard.There are plenty of posts outlining what has to be done to a DW bezel to make it fit with a gen spec T-21. Here's one:The gen spec T-21's are ever so slightly wider than the crystal DW used. You have to sand the inner diameter of the bezel to make it fit. It's worse on the 6265 (steel) bezel.

I guess I will carefully sand down the bezel then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
