Not having much luck with this one, just received my Clark insert in the post, damaged, looks like the postman had some fun with this one.

Every clark I've gotten comes in his little plastic box. No box?

Hi Ajs

Yeah it was in the box, unfortunately the box was snapped in half, I think the postman must have stood on it :)

Contact Gary. He is a great vendor. I'd bet he just sends you another at no cost.

Hi Guys

I managed to get my hands on a TC bracelet and have also installed a new insert from a rep whilst I am waiting for my Clark insert to arrive (good old UK post).

Plus I installed a new bezel from another rep case.

I have also trimmed the CG's a little, although I suspect it could probably do with some more.

It was running around +30 seconds a day, I have managed to get this down to +5 seconds a day and have also greased all the seals etc.

What do you guys think, does it look better or worse, any input is appreciated :)

The bezel was from a replacement case I purchased from Silix that I had intended to use to fix my other watch, but ended up using the bezel on this one.

Thanks for the details about the CG's, i will trim them some more.
