blue_sphere Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 So there has been some talk of the ofrei crystal. I contributed to it by saying that the top bevel was really beautiful... It is... but BK quickly pointed out to me its missing the MAIN bevel. Attached is a picture to show you. Now the kind of aftermarket cystal being searched for is a combination of the two. Having both bevels. (thanks BK for the image) I have a message into wholesaleoutlet/jeweleryoutlet about their crystal. Hopefully SOMEONE can make this!

blue_sphere Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Tribal can you please be more specific on where to pick these up? I am assuming ebay, but I find many names under "wholesale" Perhaps a link to the sellers store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Don't buy anything from Bob, period. He's a mouthy little cocksucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAMman Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Well wholesaleoutlet is no better. wholesaleoutlet really is the pits. I ordered a bezel insert and got the wrong item twice then a pile of bad manners and grief when I explained why I wasn't leaving any ebay feedback - he requested that I leave feedback and when I told him that it would be negative he told me that he would leave negative feedback on mine if I dared to do it.

blue_sphere Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sellers cant give negative feedback anymore... So go for it! I just received the wrong bezel insert from him, another insert wouldnt fit the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Interesting reading material. Just stick with Clarks. He is very friendly, won't scam you, and there really isn't anything wrong with his crystals or gaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) just got my wholesaleout990's (same as JewelryOutlet555) crystal. It's about the same thing as Clark's, no extra beveling/rounding at the top edge I was hoping it had. -bk Edited October 20, 2008 by bklm1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
