Reading this thread...I honestly would retain the services from the likes of Slay, Yodog, Thesociety and many others great modders on this forum before going the phong route...you know what you’re then getting and one on one to your specifications.

A new member with 2 posts. I don't think it's a good idea for you to be advertising a backdoor sale.

I saw this at the upcoming Philips sale. Now this is an absolute beauty - would kill to find that dial!

Adding to all these gorgeous builds, with my VN build 6263 Paul Newman ... One of my all time favorite watches!

TheSociety Can you provide some additional details about what needs to be done to a gen spec bezel in order to fit flush on a cartel/JKF asymmetric pusher case? Does the bezel have to be machined in some way? Does it require any modification to the case?

Any additional information would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Let me help you understand. It FITs meaning it'll go around the bezel but it doesn't fit because it won't sit FLAT with the cartel case. See the giant gap between the two? You can modify it to sit flush but that's another $60 on top of your $270 part and yes your Modder will hate you for asking him to do this. Mine hates me haha

Note the GAP it will not sit FLUSH with the cartel case. All GEN spec bezels WILL Have this issue
