panerai153 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Are these inserts OK..I dont have to have perfection just something thats ok. http://stores.ebay.c...14.l1513&_pgn=1 This guy known affectionately as "Mr Slimeball" has a long history of being difficult to deal with, wrong items, stuff not as described, problems with returning items. personally, if i could find anyone else, i would stay away from him. Lots of GMT bezel inserts around. What watch are you looking to replace the insert on?
If you see Kay Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 I've ordered from them several times. Not everything is guaranteed to fit as they state. I have a UPO insert on the way. I'll update on the quality once it arrives.
Dizzy Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Ive never received a correct order from that guy. i only use his as a last resort.
rosnik Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 I'll never buy again from that person. Poor items and poor service.
grifter Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 good info here! thanks! now does anyone know where to get a frikin 16600 bezel?! lol i can't for the life of me source one...
Kerbus Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 I'll echo the wrong parts sent experience here too. Luckily returning the caseback gaskets went ok. Can't help about the bezel, but I'm pretty sure any of these aftermarket inserts to be put on a rep will need to be sanded a little first for a proper fit. Easy mod.
Jkay Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 He has very reasonable 2824 movements but as others have mentioned ... other parts are kind of questionable.

Lots of GMT bezel inserts around. What watch are you looking to replace the insert on? My 1665 great white. The damage is done already as I already ordered the insert.. At least it was cheap! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180434809349
preacher62 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Poor Mr. Slimeball...Maybe I've just been fortunate, but I have ordered everything from bezel inserts to ETA movements and they have, on every occasion, been the right thing and received in a timely fashion every time. Just .02
tonyp1 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 Insert snapped right in. No glue. Pearl is too big but all in all nice for $14.00.
freddy333 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 For a 551x/1680/1665 with a gen or gen-size/style case (MBW/NDT/Yuki, etc), click here Then, swap the oem pearl in this insert with Ofrei's Ilumines dot (pearl) (usually, Ofrei's dot snaps right in, but, in some cases, it may require a small dab of cement) For a 168xx with a gen or gen-size/style case (MBW/NDT/Yuki, etc), try this You would do well to avoid wholesaleoutletxx & Mr. Slimeball's various aliased organizations. He is a pathological liar & they (his organizations) are all rip-offs.
tonyp1 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 For a 551x/1680/1665, click here For a 168xx, try this You would do well to avoid wholesaleoutletxx & Mr. Slimeball's various aliases. Thanks much This one will do for now. If the watch was a super rep it would be a little different. I might use him or yuki on my dw 6263 rehab though. Im needing end links, spring bars, and a gasket for the case back.
cib0rgman Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 @freddy333 Actually the pearl from ofrei is a perfect match. I used one of Helen's insert and I just pressed the pearl in very carefully no glue needed at all.
RHSHAW Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 these guys are assholes.. selling a red triangle insert for a 6202 turn-o-graph.. I get it and it's sized to fit a modern sub.. the guy is trying to tell me it's for another 6202 model like I'm the idiot. They should banned from ebay !!! FU boys !
Bc1221 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 I forgot what I bought from them but it was junk and the guy never responded for a return. Haven't bothered with them since. The only eBay watch parts guy I prefer to deal with is Gary Clark. Can't say enough good things about him and his products. As for the insert, I think someone on rwi is selling a gen. Might still be there.
automatico Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Imo Clark is a 1st class go to guy and wso990 is a 4th class last resort.
kbh Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 WSO has banned me from buying his crap after I left him negative review for sending wrong color insert twice and then making it to difficult to return. Saying it was my fault. What a strange way to run a business.
