You ordered a bar girl from Sash, too?
I'm still working on my review.. just need her to let me get some sleep so I can put the words together properly!
Hi Fellfell,
I am not sure where to find a good quality bezel insert. I have been looking for a genuine bezel insert myself but have not found one yet.
As for the bracelet, have you compared your bracelet to a genuine Rolex bracelet? They are both very light with a poor feel. The modern MBW bracelet is heavier and while some people do prefer it, it is not light and flimsy like the genuine bracelet.
You may be able to polish, oil and clean your bracelet to make it fit like you want.
I have been milling a hole through the existing area and installing a 3mm titanium valve look-alike "button" to fill in where the valve area once was.
Which would be most preferred, a correct size replacement valve or a correct proportioned replacement valve?
Hi all,
I have been working to make some replacement Helium Escape Valves to upgrade the 16600 Sea-Dwellers with an accurate looking valve made of genuine Titanium.
We're shooting for $35 per valve.
Anyone interested?

Chances are, my only friend with a genuine LV sitting around is my friend Ubi and it is probably sitting in his parts bin just waiting to be put together
Unfortunately, I have not had good luck finding one at all. RSC would quote me a price but not sell it to me without the serial number of the watch it would be put on.
Thanks for the education, Ubi.
You are right, of course. I saw the 9 marker and too thought something was up with it. So I looked at my MBW insert, saw it looked sort of the same and thought, "hmm, maybe it is supposed to look like that."
I should have been more skeptical.
For reference, assuming RSC would sell you a new one, they quoted me $120 - $150 for it.
Helfands is still in business. I had a phone conversation with the owner a few weeks ago. Someone hacked their paypal account and are currently in a dispute with Ebay regarding $40,000 if I remember correctly.
In the mean time, they are setting up a website here:

Hi guys,
I have been looking for the past 2 months and have finally been sent this pic of a claimed OEM bezel insert. Does this look legit?
Here is the best pic I have and I do not have a closer pic of the pearl.
Thanks!
