my plan is to wait for lowtech to post my item and then sell the edifice on eBay (its a secret

)

No, I will post it on Thursday or Friday

Sounds like a good plan, if I don't tell anyone, do I have a commission

You're evil

I can sell you a watch strap at a special price.

I did receive the Edifice!
Thank you, it is a very nice watch. and thanks for the little one piece tool extra!
It was in no way necessary, but is well appreciated.

Did the G-shock show up yet?!

dks · **Reply #38 on:** November 09, 2015, 07:40:02 PM

I am glad you like it.

I did not realise that you posted the watch.

Nothing yet.

dks · **Reply #39 on:** November 10, 2015, 03:19:51 PM

Arrived today.
Now I need to find a bezel for it.

lowtech · **Reply #40 on:** November 10, 2015, 06:48:27 PM

Glad it arrived!
Was the bezel damaged in transit or why do you need a spare?!

You can get them at watches.br on Facebook - They used to sell on eBay but eBay drove them out. They offer aftermarket bezels for many discontinued models in about 90% of casios quality.

dks · **Reply #41 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:44:04 PM

The Bezel is cracked on 4 sides, above each screw.
I assumed it was like that.
The box it came in was fine. Maybe the temperature changes or the pressure changes affected it..

You do not notice it from the top, but it is obvious from the side.
Here are some pictures of both sides.

lowtech · **Reply #42 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:51:22 PM

That was not the case when I shipped the watch. Seems like teh resin had reached the end of it´s lifespan and was well in it´s box but could not stand been shaken around in travel.
As this is not what I promised to deliver, I do offer to at least share the costs for a spare bezel. sorry for teh inconvenience.
Please do order a spare (if you cannot find the seller, I´ll rummage through my old emails) and let me knpow the cost!

dks · **Reply #43 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:55:56 PM

It just looks like the whole inside expanded, causing the cracks on the 4 ends

I am looking at the facebook site now

https://www.facebook.com/watchesbr-1412801452326384/?fref=ts

I assume that you just post there and they contact you?

Ricardomfs · **Reply #44 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:56:07 PM

Old Casio bezels they all end up like this when they serve his purpose, to be used... But they are not has tough has the cases!

Lowtech, that's a nice gesture, I know the bezel was alright I saw pics of the watch on the past!

dks · **Reply #45 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:58:16 PM

How about this:

Ricardomfs · **Reply #46 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:06:15 PM

That's a perfect fit mate, and original!

But I think on watchesbr you can get it way cheaper!

dks · **Reply #47 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:10:20 PM

The problem with watches.br is that it seems like I need to leave my email address on their, open, facebook page

wait, they have a hotmail email too - I will try that.

Ricardomfs · **Reply #48 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:13:52 PM

Give it a shoot

And also you already have a strap, no need for the eBay combo!

dks · **Reply #49 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:16:56 PM

I have emailed them, though I suspect that with shipping the ebay one may actually be cheaper, in the end

I was about to post the same link.
Keep in mind that the NOS bezel will be some 20 odd years old - You cannot besure if it was always stored dark and cool and it may deteriorate fast oncwe in service. It is original Casio, though. The watches.br stuff is quite good - I think Zed has a DW5600C from me with a bezel and strap from them - It´s been in service fro some time, so maybe he can give some feedback?!

dks · **Reply #52 on:** November 11, 2015, 08:09:58 AM

OK, so I got a reply from them.

$35 including shipping for the Bezel and Strap.

The eBay one will be about $50
eBay:

I am attaching the Brazilian one.
However, the light writing seems to be in the wrong place, top right instead of top left, for both sellers.

Is this the best I can get?

which one would be a better choice

dks · **Reply #53 on:** November 11, 2015, 04:07:02 PM

Actually the light writing is at the correct place.

lowtech · **Reply #54 on:** November 11, 2015, 07:29:12 PM

I did pay 35,- € to your PP account.

I guess the DW-5600CL confused you - it has teh Light button in the lower right, differing from most other G-Shocks.

Many thanks, but I did not expect any money back.
I will now have to spend them on more watches for you.

I assume that the best buy for me will be the Brazilian Bezel, as the original one may have aged, right?

But you did expect an intact watch - as that was what I did advertise. so it´s only right when I pay the part to make one out of teh damaged watch you did receive.

I assume that the best buy for me will be the Brazilian Bezel, as the original one may have aged, right?

Yes. The original resin may be completely fine, but as the resin is some 20odd years old, it might have aged an start crumbling shortly. The Brazilian stuff is not completely up to par with Casio stock parts, but mighty well for a wearer and worlds better than the crumbling bezel you have received.

Ricardomfs · **Reply #58 on:** November 11, 2015, 09:57:54 PM

I already bought one set of this from spain, and it was in marvelous condition mate, i was in fact able to fit the bezel without removing the screws, because they are famous to brake due to age! it´s also a good buy those one from Spain!

And DKS be careful removing the screws from the Dw-5700, do it gently, if you find them to tight, with a good pack of vaseline the bezel will stretch and slide over the screws!

P.S. I´m proud to be part of this community, Lowtech that was a proper gesture from your part

mate.

lowtech · **Reply #59 on:** November 11, 2015, 10:18:53 PM

The bezel screws should be fine on the watch - I checked that. Be careful, though.
And if Ricardofms has firsthand experience, don´t shy away from the spanish seller.
