usmctowgnr Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 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.

cht Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 You can try to find a 5512/5513 insert as another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmctowgnr Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
