There are many things I like in the Chronomat B01 and a few I don't. One little thing I like a lot is the 12 plane-headed screw-heads for the side securing of the bezel: IMHO it makes the watch less blingy. The EVO and the Chrono Cockpit have this plane screw-heads only in the 0, 15, 30 and 45 min. positions - that is at the rider tabs - I think EVO and CC screws with different lengths, as the EVO bezel is wider. As I have a CSO and a Chrono Cockpit (CSO comes with 8 domed screw-heads and CC with 8 domed and 4 plane ones) I'd like to "re-build" their bezels with plane-headed screws only. So I've tried if those screws are interchangeable: The plane screw-head of the CC fits perfectly into the 8 holes of the domed screws and have the same length, so ordering the 8 plane-headed screws makes the solution. The same plane-headed screw fits the SCO bezel too but the original CSO bezel screw is a bit longer (as the CSO bezel is wider) so I'm afraid these 8 screws wouldn't secure the bezel perfectly. So the question is: if some has both the CSO and the EVO (rider tab screws of the EVO only!) or the B01 (either rider-tab- or the other 8 screws, as they might differ in length) and is ready to help looking at these screws if they fit perfectly the CSO bezel I'd be very, very happy. Only thing to care for: use a see-through adhesive tape for unscrewing for the prevention of scratching the bezel! My CSO bezel needed more force for unscrewing than my CC bezel... Any other ideas for getting plane-headed screws with matching length for the CSO are also welcome... Thank you for any kind input! (Please do not advise not to do the change, I know this is leaning from the original but I love to personalize my watches, of course without changing the main original points. You can see some personalizing on the scans posted by me here on BS. And on this point I'd like to avoid the AD Service, of course after having the knowledge what to order I'll place the order through them. The result is promised to be shown here sooner or later.) Best regards from beautiful Budapest: Robert PS.: I've just noticed that the (Avenger) Skyland and a few other models in the Aeromarine and Professional lines also have bezel screws with plane heads, as such they might fit. Anyone wanna give a try with this? Thanks! Robert |
