Bezel on 243

[Mj2k]

Hi guys,

How easy is it to remove the bezel on the 243?

My markers at 15, 30 & 45 are slightly twisted so was thinking about popping the bezel to adjust.....well, finding someone capable on the forum, as I have ham fists!

Thanks in advance, it's minor but I can see it a mile away

I have fixed 3, V1, V2 and V3, never had an issue. Never tried the Hublot factory model however.

Wich one would be the V3? The M series??

Cheers R2D4.

Will give this a go, mine in an M series.

This was exactly what I thought I could do, appreciate your help!

Just be careful I guess. It's really just a cap if you think about it. Friction fit.

So, wich is the V3? Lil, I'm intrigued...

I think V3 is from R2D4-factory... LOL

Seriously, what R2D4 means is IMO:
V1 = H maker L-series
V2 = Nood L-series
V3 = Noob M-series

Actually we are calling them:

- H maker
- Noob V1 or Noob
- Noob V2

Sometimes they look off, sometimes they don't.

Am I likely to improve on this?

V1 Noob came out as an L. It had a non polished cannon pin, rounder pearl, LswissL touching 6.
V1.5 Noob came out as an N. It had polished CP, rounder pearl and the CG corners were not champhored. L caseback, LswissL touching 6.
V2 Noob (Current) Polished CP, flatter pearl, champhored CG corners, N caseback. Almost perfect.

That is what I remember, correct me if I am wrong.

If it's off, it's off. If it's close it may not bother you.

Firstly I don't know about N-series of 243 they are just L and M-series

- V1 seems OK your description

- Between V1 and V2 some improvements were applied, like in PAM 111, until arriving to all improvemets of the V2 version that you are explaining correctly IMO. But I don't remember the name of V1.5 for these versions. Maybe from Toro ?
Above versions mentioned is no clear that were with M-series (never N-sereis) because there are some L-series with V2 improvements, concretely Chromed has one of them !

And yourself identified it like a V2

I asked Chromed about the series (I don't remember either when or where) and he confirmed me it was L-series.

- V2 is the current version with all improvements as you are indicating, but with M-series caseback instead of N-series.

Look here beer , take out the L,M,N and the 123, there were 3 noob steps to where we are now. I am not the expert so I am not really sure about the specifics but I had three of these.
