Hey The Zigmeister when I click that link I get an error that the link is invalid. The error returned was: Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken

Freddy333 - Thank you for your reply. My mistake was I was searching for the answer in the Rolex forum. Silly me. :-) I will read them over. I appreciate it.

would you kindly provide a link? I did a search for Crown replacement, tube replacement, tube, and found nothing? thanks in advance and looking around on ebay, 150.00 sounds like a lot for a crown, is that a normal price??? i also saw a few for ~60.00 then id have to find a tube as well.

Hmmm ^ thats an Idea as well...just swap pearls....25.00 thru watchmaterial, thats not bad at all...i think ill do that......ill bet im gonna get screwed on the shipping lol I'm planning on trimming the inside of the cg's this weekend I'd order a gen crown and tube if i knew i wouldn't screw it up, problem is I tried searching for, but didnt find a "How to replace the tube and crown" post. I did however seem to see mulitple people recommend changing out the crown and tube on a noob/so called perfect sub before, so I'm HOPING that its totally possible without very much modding required?? Is it just a open case back, remove crown, remove movement, remove tube, and replace?? Can someone confirm for sure? BK?

Dude, I DID Search, which is why my title says "So I was doing a search" Thanks for all the replies guys... I guess I'm gonna try to remove just the insert via pug's idea. Does this bezel look decent VS the NoobMariner/Perfect Version?? I've been staring a pictures of pearls for hours now....haha Rolex Bezel Insert Black Silver f/ 5513 Submariner (They claim its a perfect match)

I've seem something similar...my question pertains to the So Called Perfect sub...and people saying DONT remove the bezel.....

what is wrong with that pearl? I must be blind cause it looks pretty good to me

my question was how do i go about removing it? hopefully with out damaging it lol.

so I guess changing out the insert it out? i dont want to ruin my watch or is there a special way that i missed on how to do this.

and he was like very nice! did you buy it or was it a gift from the gf? i told him it was a gift. hehe

i wonder if it will be on any bittorrent sites...... i'm hoping it might be in english? i dont understand any other language but english hehe

The more I think about it. I might get the 5th gen because I'm not sure a 45mm watch will look as good on my skinny wrist. Don't want it to look like I'm borrowing dads watch. Lol How much were the gen hands?

without having one of these in hand....and not having taken apart my current rep....does the pearl and the Metal Ring come out as one? if it does i can see transplanting it to my current bezel, by just drilling out the pearl's hole sligtly bigger.... hmmmm

damm...i just want to find a nice bezel insert for my 16610, with a nice pearl. lol why is it so hard. =p

I want an Orange PO, and a Breitling SOSF as my next 2 reps...then im DONE. LOL i hope....

ETA's are supposed to be more reliable then the asian counterparts..... the 3rd link goes to paul's site. that is a ETA movement. if i get one soon it will be from paul, but it will be the "Ultimate" version BTW Take into consideration if you order the asian version from Andrew, its 118.00 + 30.00 shipping. so 148.00 Paul has free shipping. so its not THAT much more.

from the search i did, it seems the 16800 is a rolex from the 80's and the 16610 is from 2005-2006ish.... so i assume if ive sourced a bezel insert for a 16800 its gonna not look correct for my 16610? the picture of the actual bezel in question they say its for a 16800. pearl looks good to me thou....should i hold out for one specificlally for my so called perfect sub (16610 i assume) from paul?

ahaha, I get it now....thanks bud! BTW I'd already read your review, and you do great work! keep it up =)

i wish we had a trader joe's in Hawaii....i ALWAYS go when im in vegas

Paul has a new "5th generation PO listed on his website" I thought the Ultimate WAS the 5th generation... any input on which one I should get? SO CALLED ULTIMATE VERSION VS 5TH GENERATION I see that the 5th gen is 42mm vs 45mm of the ultimate. what else am I looking at

jdavis - thanks a lot!! why are there so many choices? I need a black/silver one, but there are like 4-5 diff ones. lol

Do you happen to have the sellers name so I can order from the same seller? Thanks in advance

I too wish we had something like that... I've been wanting to pick up some publications of different watches to read and then use as backdrops for my photos....

as u can see from this rollie picture..... I don't own any Pam's but am thinking about one for my next watch..I have NO idea where to start. Looking at something that is more on the plain side (no chrono) and with a see thru back (ive always thought those were super cool, especially with all the pics i see of the Pam's with their super detailed/designed movements.... Any suggestions?

^ I totally made that comment to the gf last night.... "Honey It's almost like playboy, looking at just the pictures"
