Ah you got the 170 dial and bezel from chrono, I bought it myself and then rejected it, so you must have got it after me :). Its one I didn't see myself keeping if I built it. Was certainly a bargain!.

I have purchased about 70 watches over the past 7 years from a guy named Sead in China , he does good Quality Control and sends pictures for approval before shipping. Sometimes he can't get a watch which is very rare. As long as you use the trusted dealers listed on RWI, RG and RWG you are good. If you need help just PM me

The bezel may need some work to fit, I’ve got a gen 243 bezel and it is not a direct swap and the bezel retaining ring will need a little machining
