JohnDorian Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Is it supposed to be bulbous? It seems very high. It's a Z serial model. Any recommendations on a replacement pearl is this is incorrect? Everything else about the watch seems very top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosnik Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Does it look pretty , but not gen like. IMO: It got one different shape in Z . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm with highoey, get a watchmaterial pearl, or maybe you could find a gen insert for $70-100 and put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDorian Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ordered 2 watchmaterial pearls and a LV bezel from JO. (Yes, I know it won't have maxi dial or LV hands) Any ideas on how to get the pearl off? I was thinking about maybe dipping the bezel in boiling water to loosen the glue. Otherwise, I'll try a local watch smith someone on RG recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Compare to the genuine insert and bezel on my old WM9: Not very close at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I put the bezel insert number side down on the carpet and hammered out the old pearl using a small phillips driver and my watch makers hammer... Worked perfect and NO damage to either. You can also use the shaft of the driver to widen the insert hole if the watchmaterial pearl doesnt fit as sometimes is the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
