Frankening a 127

[Sam1977]

I found (locally) a OEM Crystal, and OEM Bezel (still in Panerai Packaging) for a 127. The same source thinks he also has a crown guard available, and will be getting back with me Monday. I am pretty sure the Crystal will fit, and I know the Crown Guard will. But has anyone ever tried to install an OEM Bezel to a 127, or 217? Mine has a nasty scratch, so I thought it was a great excuse to have the OEM bezel installed.

Any thoughts?

I hate you........

The gen bezel with the red gasket won't fit the rep 127/217 case without some milling done to the case.

Yep, I heard the same. The oem bezel won't fit without modding.

and I hate you for able to find an oem crystal...

Mine with oem dial, hands, CG and modded movt says hello.

You need a better crystal.

Yep, that's why I hate OP for finding an oem crystal. lol
But I'm satisfied with the current crystal for now since there's no line breaks whatsoever.

The OEM 127 hands are a great upgrade.
