MatS GP Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Hi all! I bought at really good price... It was treated very badly, as you can see from the photos. I need help for restoration: - I can't find the reference for the bezel insert (cousinsuk sells only the complete bezel)and on ebay only aftermarket (i do not want to use) - the glass can be polished to remove the scratches? - any other suggestion? TIA (many) to all RWG crew ! Edited December 13, 2010 by MatS GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I think it's kinda cool. It's a tool watch and it has been treated like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Cant see the pics, but as far as i know, you can't buy a gen insert on its own from an official watch parts supplier. WholesaleOutlet on eBay do sell an aftermarket insert for that watch which in my opinion is very gen-like. I fitted one to my SMP-CD You just need to take out your gen pearl to re-use.

chronoluvvv Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i believe they make a filler for those welts on the crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyondx4 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Cant see the pics, but as far as i know, you can't buy a gen insert on its own from an official watch parts supplier. WholesaleOutlet on eBay do sell an aftermarket insert for that watch which in my opinion is very gen-like. I fitted one to my SMP-CD You just need to take out your gen pearl to re-use. Yes. As long as you have the gen pearl on-hand, you've just saved yourself $$$! HoleSaleOutlet's SMP bezel insert has very accurate coloration, but a sub-par pearl (as with virtually all aftermarket SMP inserts nowadays). Just mod the gen pearl in and you're good. As for the crystal, if you have to replace it, Krysworks does have a very nice single-AR SMP replacement sapphire crystal for about $70. If you feel like selling your messed up insert, please do lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosnik Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 WHOLESALEOUTLET990 http://stores.ebay.it/WHOLESALEOUTLET990 I'm not totally convinced the item on sale are good. Personally got a really bud experiences with Rolex inserts from this seller. They were totally off..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
