Hi all,

Craig has told me that this is likely a waste of time, but trying anyway. I am looking for both the tach ring and the crystal retention ring for an 18k Top Time. I understand that I am likely never going to come upon these but would really appreciate any guidance or ideas.

Thanks as always,
David

David, I've been searching for good tachy rings for the 2000 and 2004 for too long, afraid there's little chance to find one. Planning to have some refinished, these should be easy to do.

Thanks as always Fred. If you have luck w the refinishing let me know. I understand from Craig that because of the wrong crystal and retention ring the tachy ring is partially obscured too. Assume those are also impossible to find? Good news is that Craig did a masterful job on the bent lug, which actually was much more serious than it looked in the photos -- the lug had been smashed into the case and seriously deformed the case as well.
