natevan70....you and I seem to be on the same wavelength the last couple days with the Vortex yesterday and Sea Anglers today....cool10.gif
That bezel on your Sea Angler looks like it has received some custom treatment...there appears to be more "relief" / "depth" to the black bezel insert texture relative to the numbers...did you customize this?....looks great!!!
Yes. I had a doorframe accident which put a huge dent in the plastic bezel filler. I removed that, and considered leaving the bezel bare. I couldn't get the finish even so I used several coats of enamel spray paint, followed by several more of clear enamel.
I'm thinking of sanding the clear coat off of the indicies of the bezel and re-polishing them. I would not recommend removing this bezel; it isn't easy. Glad you like the look!
Wow...I can imagine that was a project that ended up being more than you bargained for, but the result looks great and I'm a sucker for relieved indices in a dive bezel (reference the DWATCH Sting Ray for that type of bezel...done very well).
Thanks for the tip regarding the bezel...I am about to put a new crystal in my Lume Dial SA (or I should say, have a watch maker do it). I am assuming that they will have to remove the bezel to put the new crystal in...anything specific I should warn the watch maker about?
Thanks,
Chris
