Had to get mine out of the box today. Just a stock cartel, but she's still sexy, imho.

I can't find a Cartel 39mm gold daytona anywhere. Any tips or direction?

 

[johnlogan]

You literally got me hard with these pics!

Dear lord. This thread is killing me! These are all so beautiful and the intricate details and differences are fascinating. I really don't think I can pull one off but I sure do like looking at them!

If anyone has an asymmetrical 37mm stock cartel let me know

Let me help you understand. It FITs meaning it'll go around the bezel but it doesn't fit because it won't sit FLAT with the cartel case. See the giant gap between the two? You can modify it to sit flush but that's another $60 on top of your $270 part and yes your Modder will hate you for asking him to do this. Mine hates me haha

Note the GAP it will not sit FLUSH with the cartel case. All GEN spec bezels WILL Have this issue

I am my modder... I havent pulled mine apart yet, but is therre a lip of steel protruding from the top face of the case or something???

My haul: 3 flat S bakelite bezels (real bakelite as oppose to most plastic rep bezels including all the expensive ones).
Each of these cost almost two cartel 6263 [emoji26]

So according to Hodinkee, bakelite only applies to 6542...

Yeah, between me and a friend who's a well known watch blogger (I guess between us we are better than your "average" watch person) we didn't know that. Is number 7 on this article.

no, but I'd sell other stuff if need be. About $400 a pop i guess but that's fine.
