TB2 carbon bezel - anyone think too much?

[negoshi8or]

While I don't own one, I have had my eye on them for a few years. Now chasing a CF TB1. Back on topic - while carbon was the rage back then, I always thought the CF dial was enough. A polished SS bezel would have contrasted the Ti well, and better matched the '0' - what do you think? Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay with the 5j22 inside did this well - Ti case with polished bezel looked great.

On that note - does anyone on the forum know if polished SS bezel mod was made (non oakley) or if anyone beadblasted the case and bracelet instead of the brushed finish? perhaps too rare to do?

There was at least one tb2 made that didn't have the carbon fiber bezel. It was meant to be a non elite version if I remember correctly. I had a pic of it somewhere I'll try to track it down.

Cool - that would be great to see. would be also good to see a polished brass or rose gold bezel (more yellow than red or traditional rose gold)

I believe it had a white band as well.

I really don't know, I kinda forgot about it till reading your post. I'll ask a couple people see if they know the story behind it.

This is funny because I was just researching the white dial and about to ask if anyone had ever seen one and here it is! Wow! Its elegant! I wonder how many were made? There is a black dial one to evidently

FWIW I think it looks 100% better with the Carbon Face. It looks like a Fake imho with the white dial.
