Bump from April 2018

Several points:
They will only work with night watch's bezel assembly for now
In order to speed the process and make sure orders are filled correctly I need the crystal from you that comes with the bezel. This ensures a couple of things, mostly proper fit.

The bezels will be as an exact copy of the original as I can make them, they will stay on the watch and click at 5 min intervals. While making tiny spring indents is very difficult these will be fitted with aluminum pins that serve the same function, they will function very close and can be tightened up when needed, and are not used to hold the bezel on.
the 12 O'clock dot will be one of two options, a lume filled mostly flat index or a raised plexi cup then filled with lume.
im working on picking up a cnc mill to make these a bit faster, making them one at a time is very consuming, and costing 200+
making them in production where i can leave the machines set up to do each step should bring the price down to 125-150 each.

I’m still waiting for my replacement one since like, 2016 or 2017.

The person who bought the watch and bezel from me will get the replacement I’m owed.

No disrespect but 5-6 years is getting ridiculous.

Reason it was owed is because it was mailed it a slightly padded envelope and had a crack when it arrived.

Come on Joe, just send me one of those ones you had shown there from 3/2021 so I can close this out for the person who bought it from me.

FML, why do we as a community tolerate this kind of insanity? Life happens but 5-6 years?!
