Any chance of someone doing a green dial black bezel mock-up please.

Not that I'd buy another C60 personally, one is enough, but curious to see how it would look. The green bezel black dial is nice.

The Clach77 Lotus works a treat, I'd probably sell my orange C60 and switch to that.

Photoshop is the easiest way. :lol:

Not recommended, but you can always do this if you can obtain a spare bezel. CWL won't sell you one.

Really not recommended - How not to change the bezel

I'd love to be able to pop a black bezel on my C7 IRR ...would look great :clap:
Also, it would convince me to invest in a black C60 COSC, which I'd just have to test with an orange bezel! :o

He is using what looks to be a cheap knive, I assume that if I used one of my razor sharp Japanese kitchen knives that would be ok? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Surely CW could offer this as a post sale option? They could make a decent amount of money for not a great deal of time/effort...

The red bezel on the black dial looks the dogs dodahs. Wouldn't say no to a Pepsi bezel either.

In a nutshell that could be the reason why the service isn't available. The Pepsi bezel, or whatever variant it was attached to, is highly coveted by many here. Simply adding one here and there would never do. :thumbdown:

I don't mind a Pepsi, in fact I like them. But I prefer a single colour bezel. I could do an Orient. I probably wouldn't stretch to a CW/Steinhart and the Rolex GMT that I've seen would be way off the scale. Great looking but I'd see it as an indulgence to top up a collection....

Has anyone else looked?
Is it the same dimensions as the Steinhart Ocean?

Don't know. I don't have the Steinhart specs. I do have an Ocean 1 42mm I can check against though.
