SSD vs Sub inserts

Recommended Posts

Are they the same?

example: I get a gen Sub bezel insert. Can I put it on a SD bezel? Or vice versa.

Thanks for any answers, I'm just a noob trying to pick up some knowledge while fixing up my SSD. :)

No, the inserts are different size. You need to get a insert for the bezel you have, If you have a SD bezel, you need an insert for a SD 16660 that would be a 315-16660-81 Lumi insert

Do not get the insert for a 16610 or 168000 Submariner.

Thanks guys!

does new seadweller mean DSSD?

any info on the old SSD?

I believe that is what he is talking about. The old SD was the 1665, the new would be the 16600 and 16660.Same models as the SSD. the DSSD (Deep Sea Sea Dweller is completely different, uses a creamic bezel insert and is much larger) Old and new refer to Sea Dwellers that use metal inserts.

AH!! Makes sense. Thanks Panerai!

Anyone know where I can pick up a bezel and insert for the 16600? Prefer gen insert. Bezel can be gen or rep.

I bent the bejeezus out of the bezel trying to lift it off and when I tried to bend it back.. well... :wounded1:

The case is sent out getting lug holes drilled.. maybe I should turn it into a 16660! I love me nice semi-vintage sport rollies!

Please help me out! :thumbsupsmileyanim:
