OlympusDaytona 49 Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Hey RWG, It has been a while, I've finally returned after a long hiatus. Today I have for you a guide for fitting a "90's Era" MkIV Bezel to a Cartel 6263 Case on the cheap. Tools Used: Dremel 200 Dremel Cutting Wheel Attachment Dremel Cut-Off Wheel No. 420 Ebay Table Top Vise Bergon 4040-P Seiko-S284 Bergon No. 4657 Ultra-Fine Tipped Blue Sharpie Uvex Stealth Cup of Cold Water 600 Grit Sandpaper 1000 Grit Sandpaper 2000 Grit Sandpaper Parts Used: Phong MkIV 6263 Bezel Ideally the case should have been machined to fit the bezel, but I decided to use the easiest solution with what I had. Here are the photos: After marking the case and pressing the bezel to it, I filled in the transferred permanent marker to visually know what material to remove. Mounting the movement holder in a table-top vice. When working the material be sure to check the surface temperature and quench when needed in the cup of water otherwise the plastic movement holder will melt... After the desired fit is achieved, the bezel is sanded and pressed down upon the crystal and case. Stay tuned for more mods...

OlympusDaytona 49 Posted July 14, 2017 Back again with an update, my gen 7835 bracelet and 23-9380 end links just came in the mail! Unfortunately the 357 end links it came with don't fit the Cartel case very well... they leave a huge gap... I then decided to pry open the folded mid-links and swap the 357's with the rep 571's that the Cartel came with. Now its flush! Enjoy: So..... I bought a Tonny dial to match what I currently have (no Daytona at 6:00), except..... he sent a Paul Newman instead... on the bright side, my gen Datejust dial came in so I have a gold coronet to swap in for the look I'm going for: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
