Sanded down the bezel a bit and put it on my ARF bracelet while I wait for the hollow end links bracelet I ordered to arrive.

16800 character version in a JF case.

I would like to install an open 6 DWO on a 3135.
I cannot do it well.
Any good methods or advice?

I have been eyeing this case for some time
You put a 3135 inside?

VR3130.

The case is good quality. The bezel action is not the best.

The bezel action is not the best.

I’ve used a couple of these cases now, and managed to improve the bezel action a fair amount.

Replacing the click spring and bezel washer/ring will help, but I’ve also managed to improve the action by simply creating more of a bend in the click spring. Don’t bend it too much however as it can get a bit too tight to rotate.

If you still have a lot of bezel ‘wobble’ then you’d maybe still need to replace the ring/washer..

I did the same. Definitely some tweaking helps. The overall case quality is great for the $$

I have drilled holes in the lugs of my Cilian and JF cases.
It still looks different.

The Raffles bracelet has a mirror finish on the sides, so I treated it with sandpaper.

I’m going to get more practice cases before I go full on into a regular wear watch.

I did treat the polished sides of the raffles bracelet as well so it’s brushed.
