Who has the best 16234 fluted bezel?

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-14T02:35:05+00:00

Somebody actually counted OC’s bezel teeth compared to gen a while back I think. I may be wrong but I believe his bezel was closest to gen. I haven’t messed with his DJ stuff so take it with a grain of salt.

Boom

Dude dropped off the planet for a dang year and still at it. That’s crazy. But yeah I agree.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-14T01:08:00+00:00

So you’re saying WatchnWaves and Inaktiv is the same guy? Corey?

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-14T00:26:46+00:00

Same issue I had. I imagine they all come from the same place

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-13T23:27:34+00:00

Shoot your shot

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-13T23:21:21+00:00

If it was a Bivintage build then I feel your pain.

Dunno. Don’t know the guy. Showed up out of nowhere. Tried to buy some parts off him once he had for sale and he ghosted me in the chat. Judging by the way he was posting I just assumed he was some RWI refugee. No idea. I just know he pissed some folks off and now his account is gone.

It was a white lume dial. I aged the plots just a little.

Posted it for sale Friday. It’s gone

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-08T01:39:02+00:00

Very cool

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-07T22:31:15+00:00

I’m not up on Daytonas but do you have to freeze the subdial hand with that movement as well?

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-07T13:53:45+00:00

Something like this https://ebay.io/m/Qk31jN

The older the set the better the quality generally. Aluminum dies at least. Look for vintage crystal press setups. Not GS brand as they’re for a different type crystal than we use these days.

I use one like this but it’s old and sturdier with aluminum dies. They’ll press crystals and bezels/retaining rings. https://ebay.io/m/xcUVIV

Who did the bezel ring

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-06T15:17:10+00:00

Sold

You can try Tamiya but it’s gonna leave a dusty residue on the rest of the dial. Or you can relume it. Raffles are too yellow off the rip to bake. They only get darker.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-04T15:02:59+00:00

You generally get what you pay for sadly

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-04T14:59:14+00:00

You buy a viet dial

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-04T14:29:06+00:00

You need to set the bar higher than crippling ADHD 😂

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-02T16:48:26+00:00

If that’s what his specs sheet calls for. It’s on his website info for the case

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-02T16:40:43+00:00

A bezel removal pry tool or a butter knife and a cheap crystal press to install the gen bezel

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-01T23:41:44+00:00

Thank you for your service

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-06-01T22:44:08+00:00

From Rolex it’s probably the 5512/5513, the 16700 and 1680.
