highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Does anyone have any experience with any aftermarket retaining ring, and bezel ring for a modern sub 16610? how's the quality? and will it fit an MBK sub and provide a bezel ring of correct height so no retaining ring sanding is NOT necessary? thanks link to current one for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/BEZEL-INSERT-RETAINING...%3A1%7C294%3A50 Edited May 7, 2009 by highoeyazmuhudee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 This is Faisal Ali down here in Sugar Land, TX. Freddy and I are not too fond of him. The only part I bought from him that I had any luck with was a 24-7030 Rolex case tube. Now BK buys the bezel inserts from him from his other store- jewelryoutlet555. I bought an $8 click spring from him for my 16800 gen and it was trash. Ended up buying a gen one from my watchmaker for $15. I've noticed another seller here in Houston, I believe, watchbandman50. He has the bezels: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/WATCHBANDMAN50..._fsubZ230261018 I haven't tried him yet, but I'm thinking about it. Maybe he has the retaining ring, also. Also, check out Clark's- nostalgia2000 on the bay, might even email Gary Clark, and see what he has. Then again, you could try Faisal and if it doesn't work, send the parts back to him- you'd hopefully only be out the postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've noticed another seller here in Houston, I believe, watchbandman50. I believe this is yet another of Mr. Slimeball's nom de plumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I believe this is yet another of Mr. Slimeball's nom de plumes. I've never been able to make that connection- looks like probably higher quality merchandise and a slightly better approval rating. But I haven't ordered from them either.

docblackrock Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think we need to have an in-joke here - anytime some poor unsuspecting member asks about Mr Greaseball/Slimeball/Peddler of Overpriced Aftermarket Crap, there's just needs to be silence, an embargo until Freddy juices up sufficient foam at the corners of his mouth to give his opinion.....I know it's coming every time I scroll down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Actually, it would be easier if one of the mods just enabled an auto-correction to this moniker every time his 'store' name or actual name is posted.... Mr Greaseball/Slimeball/Peddler of Overpriced Aftermarket Crap Whadda ya think Freddy? You with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
