Just received the beauty ! It is defintely a genuine.
Would like to get some advice from the community though.
So i put it on to see how it would fit. It does fit and i can feel the tip of the bezel even when installed (i didn't put it all the way in order to be able to remove it though). However, i don't know how much the insert should be recessed. What do you reckon ? Me there's very little place but it is recessed but very little. Does anyone could provide picture of a good recessed look so i can see if i need to shave it a little?
Another great advice: do i really have to glue it or not? I think it could hold but maybe we are never too sure. I just ordered gorilla glue.
Thanks in advance! Unfortunately, cannot provide picture (until next tuesday). But will definitely will then.
Have a good week-end
Thanks to all of you for your help. I really appreciate it
Deal is done and i am pretty happy with it. 70 euros shipped, only 20 euros more than if I had gotten it from any AD. NOT BAD
Dear fellow members,
Can somebody confirm it is gen? Pearl seems okay to me but i never know and since i'm not expert i will rely on the capable hands of some more skilled members.
Thank you in advance
BTW, price is 75 euros which i think is okay compared to the $120-150 range it usually goes for.

Dear fellow members,
I have an insert problem. 2 questions:
- is the insert from the 14060 is the same than the 16610?
- is the insert from the 16660 is the same than the 16610 (or any from a sea-dweller)?
- Is the insert from the 16800 is the same than the 16610 (this one i know the answer it is yes but i'd just like to get it confirmed)?
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, another question on the top of my head? Would a WM9 V3 BK could be turned into a tritium older 16610 without contradication (i was thinking lugholes, gen insert with tritium pearl and nice aging of the markers - i know the engraving would therefore be wrong but it doesn't bother to much) ? Give me your thoughts. Otherwise, i have a noobmariner who could fill up this place for this project.
Are you kidding? Its the best thing! No date mag, kinda like a sea dweller look! It is just perfect. Just pray so they issue a 38mm version, and you have a daytona 62XX for 2800 euros!
Great result ! As soon as i saw the MBW case, i knew where this was going! Very nice project. Kinda like toomuchgear 5517 which was a true piece of art. With a nice job on the dial so it appears older, this will be a nice addition to anyone's collection for SURE!
Completely agree. Hopefully, these classics are still out there!
@panerai153 (i apparently don't master the multiquote thingy so much): overall, the tudor looks superb. But when i pay closer attention to it, yeah they probably could have done something the the crown, even the crownguards. But it still is so PRETTY !
Bad news for some, good for others: it is supposed to be 42mm.
For me, i don't know how my tiny wrist will quite respond to that. I loved the understated looks of a 38-40mm Daytona. Well, maybe 42 is a stretch i could cross.
I'm so psyched about this (you probably guessed with the raffle of posts i just wrote). Does anybody know when it should be out?
GOSH I LOVE IT. By-Tor, marsupilami, LHOOQ you've just made my day!
I totally agree. Can you confirm the price or you just guessed?
The only thing to make me truly happy would be to be able to choose the bezel. Maybe a stainless steel one, or something like a tachymetre...
Who agrees on the fact that they just made the submariner UGLY ? I just don't like this look, too bulky, the edges, everything. And the green one, please, SPARE ME !
HOWEVER, the Tudors are DOPE ! 7032 reminiscence ! WAOUH ! I'm calling my AD right away
