Broken ZF Black Bay. What next?

[Buzzpod]

I must say, my first experience with replica watches has been quite a disaster. The bezel of my ZF Black Bay fell off without me realising and I have now lost it. My question now is what next? Is there demand for reps with missing bezels like mine? Should I try and sell it on this forum?
I contacted Puretime and they cannot source the part.

Would really appreciate some advice,
Thanks

It would be helpful if you posted pictures of exactly what happened. Did the entire bezel fall off or did the insert fall off? They are quite different issues. Please elaborate and people here will be happy to help.

I will post a picture when I get a chance but the entire bezel fell off

Puretime said they sell the insert but not the entire bezel

Check with Mr Time Zone. They are a new TD. They were adamant they can get parts. Good luck!!! Otherwise you can sell it for parts or keep an eye out for a new bezel in parts, but that might be hard to come by.

Anyway, how in the heck did the bezel fall off and you not notice it? I think there has to be some sort of drunk story here lol

Thanks for the advice, I sent him a message.

And yes you're right. Basically entered the club with a fully assembled watch and left without a bezel

An aftermarket bezel + insert is not that hard to find on EWatchparts, WSO or ebay. Have a look here. EWatchparts is really good about returns if it doesn't fit, maybe another member who has one can give you inner/outer dimensions of each the bezel and the insert.

Puretime offer a 6 months warranty! if its less than this they will repair or replace it if you send it back

Thanks for the help everyone. The best MrTimeZone could do was sell me a full case set. I have told him I’d like to order one in the hole that I can salvage the parts I need and sell the leftovers.

Do you think $80 plus shipping is a good price to remedy my problem?

That actually sounds reasonable.

Does this happen to ZF all the time? With the new Tudor model coming up soon, want to make sure they got good QC.

That's a steal for the whole caseset. Bezel plus insert alone would run you that much or more.
