ryaku Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Try to have a look on alpha watches, they should have a dark blue insert for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boneventura Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Got me a black insert from Alpha Watch. To be honest: I think the pearl is freakin ugly. I surely won't use it. Decide for yourself: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I wouldn't say ugly. Sure it's not accurate but after all you knew. If you want a accurate pearl there 2 options so far: - use a gen insert - mod a rep pearl (or the new one you have). Unfortunately you need to have some skills to do this (personally i can't , i have not enough tools and experience). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Best insert I could find and what is on my SMP, is the insert from the original release SMP Chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaku Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Mate, no offense taken from your previous message, not at all. I know very well almost all inserts are disappointing somehow. As dluddy said a SMP chrono insert would be a great solution....too bad is not that easy to find a dealer disposed to source spares. If you find one please let me know i'm also looking for some spare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boneventura Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 PT was kind enough to let me order a SMP chrono bezel insert. Let you know when it arrives, I'll do a little pepsi test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boneventura Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 After waiting a few months for an insert from one of the dealers here, I decided to try another #bay-supplier. And I must say, I'm positive surprised! Great pearl. See the shop here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 it looks very good, really thanks for sharing bro' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondx4 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have this same exact insert. I agree, this seller has the nicest SMP pearl I've yet to see on *bay. I was actually communicating w/ him for awhile to find a blue one for my SMP, but he only has this "nice" version in black. The blue inserts he has onhand is from a different supplier and it looks nothing like the black one. The seller himself couldn't understand what kind of games these factories are playing. Anyway, I got the black one with the intention to remove its pearl and mod it into my Mary SMP's blue insert in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boneventura Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Looks like he has 2 versions of the blue bezel in his store. One of them looks pretty good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondx4 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Boneventura, I assume the seller had exactly what you needed (a black SMP bezel insert). Of the 3 SMP inserts he have in his webstore, the 1st one is the black insert, the 2nd one is a mid-size blue, and the 3rd one is the full-size blue. Both of the blue inserts have pretty inaccurate pearls, while the black insert has a relatively nice pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
