Referendum of the 7032

[J!m1]

Mine is still under the knife. Having issues with the bezel on the gen Crystal. DW bezel doesn't fit the gen Crystal... hopefully sorted before Christmas!

Jim let me know what solution you come up with. I ran into a stalemate with the same problem.

 

[Azel]

DW bezel inner part is smaller than gen plexi outer part.
2 solutions : shaved the outer part of the gen plexi with a risk to break it or end with rift. Or shaved the inner part of the bezel but the numerals and points of the bezel will be to close and it won’t be gen like.
It is what I have been explained, so the best solution of course is to modify the plexi with the risk of losing 200$. Technically i don’t have any idea of the saftiest way to do so.

Exactly what I found out as well. I decided that if I could not find a correct bezel I would not change it. The modified plexi would be a great solution.

Don't modify the plexi- you risk cracking it!

and where are we finding gens for only $200???

Chrono I am still looking for that perfect end link. When I find the rep that is perfect I will begin the search for a full gen oyster bracelet. At present I run two stainless configurations the jubilee and the 7836 oyster. The jubilee is a mixup of gen old clasp and rep sides and end links. I use lug bars with .75mm pins and 555 wnd links. Seems to work nice and is secure.

The 7836 is one from the new jkf and has an old set of 71n end links. Again I use the smaller pins to give the ease of fit. I hope to try the 358 to see if they will work with gen spec bars. I have tried the 380/580 and they are a no go on rhe DW case.

Thank you Hugop! Your 555 end links look perfect.

Looks fantastic!

I am about to buy the 7032 with black face from M2M, the end links look like they are not the best fit, where can I find links like yours?

Also, your bracelet has a Tudor clasp, is that "period correct"? I am still not a big expert on Monte Carlos...

The links on mine are from rep sources. Cartel, WSO etc... except for the jubilee. I don't remember for sure but think the 555's were off of a gen datejust I had.

The tudor shield clasps were available on the 9315 bracelet in the 70's so it could have been a combo. Most often you see them with 7036 bracelets and (correction factory provided 382 end links) end links. I have tried 380 end links on my DW and they dont work. I want to try 382's when I find some.

Love that hooked 11 on the date wheel!

My watchsmith choose to trimmer inner bezel to fit the crystal. That's right it could break the crystal of it's stilll too tight.

From what I read around and find in gen sales,the correct combo "out of the box" in 70s should be 7836 bracelet with 380 endlinks...
And that's what i choose for mine, old yuki 7836 and gen 380 endlinks...
But that's true,endlinks don't work as they should...

My 7032 is getting a new option...
7031 Convertibility!
And yes that is a gen 93150 bracelet and 501b end links. Not correct but soooo comfortable.

Congratulation! Looking more sharp, is that Phong bezel?

Nope,
HK seller fpdealer on the bay. Had to buy the whole 9420 case to get the bezel. Should be the correct size for gen plezi. I will let you know in about a week.
