clkcadet Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi all I am trying to pick up a new bezel insert for a newly acquired Super Sea Dweller v2 Watchmaterial is the obvious choice, but I found this bezel on the bay claiming top quality. http://m.ebay.com/Pages/ViewItem.aspx?aid=310180922075&sv=submariner%20bezel%20insert%20black&emvcc=0 Would anyone know if this bezel will fit, and if the pearl is any good? The pic doesn't help much. I know its more economical to just buy a wm pearl, but I have a bad experience with pearl only so I like to purchase the entire insert. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I suppose it NOT fit! It's 16610 insert. You have to look for 16600 insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Can't find anything on the bay at that price. The "watchoutlet" insert is like $29 WM is $25 so I think ill just stick with them even though its a higher price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 IMO: is sure better your one, that "watchoutlet" one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Here's the problem I know WM's insert will fit both a sub and SD BUT why can't others inserts fit both a sub and a sd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Here's the problem I know WM's insert will fit both a sub and SD It's not possible SD and sub got different insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yuki's is the closest to gen ..35usd.. Nostalgia on the bay is just as good as wholesale outlet for 12usd.. I got a couple in and the quality is the same as WO. AC/Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lani, Would nostalgias pearl stack up to watchmaterials pearl? And will nostalgias insert fit my SSD v2? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 16610 - outer = 37.70, inside = 30.60 16600/14060 - outer = 36.60, inside = 29.70 hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 It's not possible SD avnd sub got different insert. Although gen sub and SD's have different insert sizes, I thought the SSD rep had the same size insert as the Subs do- Chinese engineering!

lanikai Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Lani, Would nostalgias pearl stack up to watchmaterials pearl? And will nostalgias insert fit my SSD v2? Thanks. If your talking DSSD then Eurotimez has the correct insert.. with the correct "10" spacing fyi.. Nostalgia also has vintage acrylic pearls now.. nothing like the genuine insert with pearl though.

clkcadet Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Lani I am talking about the SSD v2 40mm Will nostalgias $12 insert be as good as watchmaterial's? Can't get gen that's out of budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I only have the gen. , Yuki's, wholesale, and Nostalgia (Clarks) and the Clarks is just as good as the wholesale.. Yuki's for aging the 5513 models but IMO clarks is good especially for the price..they're prices are beter than wholesale outlet..WO is over inflated..imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 im still waiting on a click spring from slowsaleoutlet, been 1 month now, and parts often dont fit properly. I find their inserts of inconsistent quality, as my current ones pearl was off centered noticeably and the print varies, wont purchase from them again unless I really have no alternative, I have nothing but great experiences with Nostalgia on ebay and I'd recommend them as their gaskets are a better tight fit and their crystals have the proper profile and I always get my package within 5 days. UNLIKE WO on ebay with their fake tracking numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
