here are a few quick and dirty pics of my new 12 hour SAR bezel insert. enjoy. thanks to Dan for the tip. just got lucky and my source happened to find the last one laying around..... its on a maratac strap and i recently removed the cyclops for a cleaner look. just my preference...

Huge congrats, Ed!!

Now we'll be able to tell ours apart since you had the cyclops removed.

That's a keeper.

thanks Dan. i owe you a big thanks and of course our little friend in CA. didnt intend to copy yours but you did inspire me to put the pressure on for an insert. the date is tough to read but my cyclops was a little off center so..... off it went! ha ha

Hey Ed,

Did you get the whole watch or just the GMT bezel from JM?

kelly56 · 20 February 2010, 11:15 AM

Nice score, Ed. Looks great with the 12 hour bezel.

Joji,
its my old sar. i removed the cyclops then our friend "found" a spare bezel. he MIGHT eventually have another batch of these things and when he does i will be the first to know. so everyone dont panic! i will be sure everyone has ample warning to get one!!

Ed, looks good.

Did you had any difficulty with removing the original bezel?

eagle_lex · 20 February 2010, 01:18 PM

i didnt do the install..... i had a "friend" do it. i think he just put the watch in the microwave and used defrost mode until the factory bezel melted off. then slapped the new one on. totally kidding.

the bezel had to be removed, heated and then the old insert came off, new one on, then reinstall the bezel
