Hi all,

Recently got this off eBay, and it looks correct to me, but of course, would rather have better opinions than mine!

Watch is a 1993 so the font looks correct for that era, and shouldn’t be serif.
The 1 and 8 are on the seperate colours on the 18 as they should be for this year also.

Any red flags? Thanks in advance.

Looks pretty good to me...

Genuine.

Much appreciated fellas.

Been looking for the same in red/blue combo but the prices are getting ridiculous!

Amazing what a colored strip of aluminum goes for these days, esp. fat font and fuschia

So I finally got round to fitting this, bezel came off easily enough, as did the original insert.
Tried putting in the coke bezel, but it feels like it may be a little big and refuses to ‘click’ into place, one side will pop in but then the other will not. Tried without forcing it too much with no joy.

Tried putting the original insert back in, which went back easily enough without any hassle.

Any ideas?

Normal. It ain't always easy. Try using the edge of a hard table/surface. With quite a bit of force, press the section of insert that is still not fully in the bezel against the edge of the table. It should pop in. Use a cloth at the edge of the table to protect the insert and bezel.

Again, par for the course.... my wife always knows when I’m switching bezels,... she hears me cursing!

Another option though one I would stress that needs exteme care, is to use a small set of pliers with nylon inserts on the jaws. This requires some practice and patience and a very careful light touch, to ensure an even and not too heavy pressure all round.
