First of all, I hate the fact that new collectors of vintage Formula 1's have to pay an extra for a plastic bezel in new condition.
So i took initiative and modelled the bezel in Fusion 360...
After i will finish it, i will make the model public for everybody to print their own (on a resin printer preferably, for the extra quality)
These are the first versions, and i have a lot of work to do on them...
Hope to get some feedback on this project!

 

Incredible! Can't wait to watch this project. Thank you my friend

 

I remade it with the right dimentions
Took me 2 hours for 1 chamfer.
This is before and after!

 

A close-up of what it looks like
11 more to go...

 

Some sketches

 

Cheated a bit by combining chunks of the bezel but it turned out pretty good!

 

The bezel was made chunk by chunk
Because i'm not making that chamfer 11 more times


This is a piece of the bezel



Basically Lego



Some more art

 

Amazing work!

 

Thanks, for now i've modeled this as a prototype. I need the dimentions of the real bezel:
-Inner diameter
-Outer diameter
-Height
This to begin with on the actual body
After i'm done with the body i will get to the ugly side... the ratchet side

If someone wants the files i made untill now, message me.

 

Nice work.

 

Here is the drive link for the files, all other files will be put HERE:

Great job, I love these stories and seeing how they end.

 

My mission didn't end, i juat got stuck xD
I need some mesurements of the actual bezel so i can model it to size...

 

I have the same watch that you used in the photograph. I can help you with the measurements of the bezel.

 

How can I send you the measurements I need this bezel, my bezel broke?

 

Excuse me, do you know where I can find the measurements of the side rubbers of this model please?

 

I sent you a private message
