seafoam Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Does anyone know if Yuki's vintage pearl or dot will sit comfortably in an MBW insert? Anyone have any experience with this? sf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 It fit perfectly in a gen 1665 insert, and that's the same size as a 1665 MBW insert. So you ought to be set. I found it to be a lot yellower than I anticipated, so I wound up drilling it out and refilling with ivory appliance paint to get the right color to match my dial.

seafoam Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks for the feedback Nanuq. I was under the impression that they came clear for you to add your own choice of lume color. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkwbkw Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Fits fine in my mbw insert. Just remember to add a dab of glue behind it to secure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmmm. I got the vintage, faded, über expensive ones from awhile ago ... maybe those are different? Come to think of it, $25 for pathetic little plastic button is über expensive no matter what's in it. Gold dust? Sign me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkwbkw Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Clarks (nostalgia 2000) on the bay has pearls for $14. Can't speak for the quality since I've never seen one in person. Next time I buy some xtals, hands and inserts from them, I'll add a pearl to my cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Sheesh, I participated in this topic, and just now looked at my wrist... and my pearl is gone. Good thing we weren't discussing Male Enhancement products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zackb911 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Has anyone tried the Clark pearl mentioned above? $17 shipped is nicer than $30 shipped for a tiny spec of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gileto Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I just ordered the last one, 20$ shipped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gileto Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ofrei just replied my mail about international shipping cost, they say you just have to write "send as postmail" in the order comments and the shipping will be 6.95$...
