Mapman57 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thought I would pop this into a new thread. A well reknown Rolex expert kindly located and donated an insert from the same Silix 5513 case set. I have sanded it to recess it in the ring; bleached, sanded and polished to get that aged blue/grey faded look................had to pop the 'orrible pearl! How it looks now.... How the insert looked originally 'after the bike crash'..... and next to my 1680....... :munch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I dunno, some folks around here would consider your post-crash insert as being "lightly vintagized"! I'm wishing I would have ordered the 5513 instead of the 5512, now... I like the simplicity of a non-COSC dial. At least my attempt at a 14060 has a simple dial...
