I also worked with JKF and Ali Express.

Did you put a unilateral click bezel on the JK?

 

[Karbon74]

The Ali case I used has a click bezel already
I had to modify the bezel to fit the 14060 spec insert, and of course change the crystal

Yes they have a website. This is the one that I got. I have an extra 29mm laying around too.

I would like to get a matte dial and have that option as well.

No, sir.
The bezel on this JKF is an old case with double rotation.
I shaved and installed a 5513 bezel insert from cousinsuk.

Great thread this one! Got the Gen so if anyone wants pics of Gen then just ask, i'm no photographer but just saying...

As a side note I always wanted a two liner clean rehaut but ultimately went with the latest made model i could find for the improved movement and the newest (less used) I could find so ended up with a four liner engraved rehaut. A smallish sacrifice for a modern 5 digit, kinda? Have to say I'm not dissapointed with it, it is uber comfortable to wear. Classic Sub.

Give me some time and I'll take some shots and post em!

 

[Jackster]

Here are some shots, if you require something more specific just ask!

 

[Karbon74]

Thanks
Let me be shamelessly

Can I also have the shot ?
A measure of the thickness
And a close up of how the crystal meets the bezel insert from the side profile, I am trying to see how tall is the crystal above the insert

One tip if you have bare lugs without pre drilled holes.

Start from the inside with a 0.8mm bit of titanium or cobalt. By hand, no drill press.
Once you are through, you can go back to the drill press method

I watched some videos. I need to get an extension and drill bits for my dremel.

Awesome, thank you! Did you debur the holes as well or just polish?

I use a round pointy file inside the lugs to clear them. It makes springbar insertion easier.

Outside, as I usually thin the lugs, it’s not needed.
