Anyone have a clue?
Hi All,
I was fortunate enough to have Dalton service my 79160 reverse panda. While it looks and operates like the day it was made, I am in need of a bezel insert, and a copy of the original owners manual to complete the project. Like an IDIOT I had placed the watch in an ultrasonic cleaner, which promptly removed the original insert from the bezel (lucky me) Now I am having a great deal of trouble finding a replacement. Dalton exhausted all his resources, so I though I would appeal to the vast crowd of collectors for some help. Anyone have any ideas? I am also looking for a watch winder, at a desent price. Again anyone? Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer, this lowly newby. |

Still looking
I was scheduled to give this watch to the son of a good friend of mine that has passed away. It was originaly left for me, but I want his son to have it. Theye were never really close in the last stages of Bob's life, but still, a son should have a rememberance of his father.
I've had the watch reconditioned and serviced, as best Dalton could, but I would really like ti have it in pristine condition before I present it to him. Someone here MUST have an idea where I could find this insert. Although my watch is a 79160, I would even be willing to install a bezel like that on the 79270 it would fit. Just want the poor thing to look new when I give it to him. |

Call RSC in Dallas at (214) 871-0500
They might have one. Keep in mind that they will require you to send them the watch to have it fitted. |

Thanks
I appreciate the information. I will attempt to get the information and costs on this from them. I don't want to spend a fortune as I will not be keeping the watch. Thanks!
