will a gen 16800 insert fit onto a mbw 1665

[usmctowgnr]

I have a mbw 1665 and was wondering if a gen 16800 insert will fit? I have read some post on vrf saying it will work and some saying no. Also if it will fit what are the differences? I saw that the pearl may be bigger.

Will definitely not work!

No, the 16800 insert is 16610 like .

You can try to find a 5512/5513 insert as another option.

Short of a gen, this is what you want for an MBW 1665 or 5513. Note - while I cannot verify this, some have said that MBW changed their design in the last year or so & some gen parts no longer fit. So if you have a recently made MBW, you might want to check with another member to see if gen-sized inserts fit your watch.

I have a watch with Ronin getting some work done. I really need to find a new insert as the one I have is not good. I am also looking for a gen 39.

Both of these items can be found almost daily on The Vintage Rolex forum market area.

I have purchased several gen crystals and inserts there.

If your watch will take a gen insert without modification, either a 1680 or 5512/5513 insert will work.
