Question on Spongebob Insert

[VaderTime]

Did u try asking the TDs here? I believe they are still available.

so far I have only contacted intime and puretime and both don't have it. I'll try and contact more TDs and hopefully one has it.

TDs are more likely to go through the hassle of sourcing a part for you if you order it along with a watch

Thanks for the advice, I did that when I ordered the v9, but the dial color was off. So, I don't want to order another watch from another TD just for the dial lol

Ahahah ok fair point but you may have to wait until you want to order a new watch to get the dial with it. All the best

Yep, if nothing comes up I'll just have to franken it without the dial :cryingbadly:

Since you are adding a new DW, I don't mind commenting that I have never before seen a DW where the two digits on one date weren't aligned horizontally. The two is sitting lower than the five, lol. I thought I'd seen it all!

lol yep, I saw that yesterday after taking the picture and went through all the dates. only 25 is not aligned which is odd.

All the parts are here except for the gen handset.

It seems like when I put the spongebob insert onto the gen bezel, the height is slightly lower.

Is there a way to fix this issue, or it is what it is? lol

Two sided tape

You didn't lose a bezel spring ball did you?

If a 3M is needed, i wouldnt bother using the gen bezel. At least until u decided to go gen Insert LOL!

The previous owner may have lost it. I bought it for about 100usd shipped. I might have to do your glue method and amazon ball and spring for one of them. Hopefully, it will still have the gen effect lol

if that's the case, I can sell the gen bezel and retaining ring and save $600 lol

Try the CF bezel assembly, i heard they dont need glue. Its friction fitted juat like the gen. And for a bezel insert assembly its quite cheap too. Around $120usd w/o shipping. I would try it if i were you lol.

I would still use gen bezel and 3m tape. Who cares if it’s taped, wait for gen insert, in future because you got a deal on the bezel. The gen insert is the best upgrade.

Vvvlllooo lBtw, even if u use gen bezel, do u still need 3M for noob insert?

 

[Vvvlllooo]

Vvvlllooo lBtw, even if u use gen bezel, do u still need 3M for noob insert?

Yes, noob uses double sided tape, ARF is friction. It’ll never fall off....plus the tape will give it that extra height it needs to be flush. $600 for a gen bezel is cheap..I would wait to score a gen insert in the future.

Yes that repair is still clicking away as it were. Suggest using SS ball though for WR.

Thanks for the info. I do like the Gen bezel assembly and Gen crown and tube feel, which made me decide to go Gen on those parts.

I got Ball and Spring from on the amazon website that you shared on your other thread.
