Hi John,
I just picked up this watch to do some tinkering around with.

it's a very good quality rep IMO, but I'm not sure if I want to wear something this blingy afterall. I do however want the bezel for a project so I bought this other case to see how the diamond bezel compares. I haven't decided what pieces I will use ultimately but I may well be taking bezels off and doing some swapping around. I like the look of just the bezel on a plain case.

I ended up ordering the Diamond Hulk Case. Hopefully I can swop this bezel for one of my Ceramic Hulks.

Good deal. I hope these are as good as what the rep factories use.
The gen inserts aren't all that expensive either. I gawk at them on T4D every now and then.

Reverting with outcome.
Blue <-> Green color shifts are easy in pics. Here's hoping the actual bezel swaps are as well.
Some great pieces there. Makes me want more than one, hahs.
LOL, indeed!
Bad news bro. The gem case arrived today. The gems are not aligned well on the right side, and the triangle gem is set crooked and chipped at the top left. Too bad because the case is not bad at all. I've already asked for a mostly full refund (without return). There are parts I can use, including the gems if I were to lose some of mine in the other case. I still will probably try to put the good bezel on the new (non-gem lugs) case. Hope you have better luck.

My diamond bezel was acceptable but the bezel construction was not GEN spec so I cant fit it on my HULK.
I have tried to remove the diamond insert but without luck. I would love to re-use the gems but I have been unsuccessful in removing them.
Might be glued down.
