Wo-mart's "so Called" Perfect Subs

[freddy333]

Alligoat -- I have a 5 year old Comex Sub that has one of these bezels. I have tried all the usual procedures for removal (which work on everything else), but it will not budge. In fact, I slightly cracked the original crystal in doing so.

Tim -- Watchmaster and MBW are sort of interchangeable and semi-generic terms for a type of rep that is very popular among modders. Their main claim to fame is the fact that the cases are very close in size and dimension to the genuine models they copy. Because of this, you can often replace parts like bezels and crown tubes with genuine parts with little or no modification to the rep case.

There was a group buy of MBWs through TTK recently, but I do not know if any of the watches have arrived yet or if there will be another group buy. TTK or one of the members of the buy might want to chime in here if there is more info.

I have been thinking seriously about getting one of the bezel removers, but at something like $175, I want to be absolutely sure it will actually remove (safely) all of these problem bezels (as well as some of the vintage and current Daytona bezels) before spending that kind of money. I know a couple of members own them, so if they can offer any input on the subject I think alot of people here would appreciate it.

Some of these new submariners and new GMT's have very easy to bend bezels.

Once you pry them up the warp in the bezel prevents them from every rotating properly again.

I cannot tell from just looking at the bezel which is strong enough to pry up and which will bend.
