Lost Bezel Dot - Submariner Bezel

[DONHIN]

HELP

I recentley purchased a late model green bezel submariner from Josh. I noticed today that the top "DOT" on the green bezel has gone walk about.

Can any member tell me who can supply me with a new dot so I can glue it in - hopefully without removing the bezel.

Thanks guys.

I work mainly on vintage, so I cannot guarantee this pearl will fit, but it is a simple cement-in job.

For the modern subs you're better off the with the watchmaterial pearl.

When you glue it in, use enough to hold it but not so much that it leaks into the bezel innards. Then you'll be removing the bezel to clean out the dried glue, a pretty simple job.

Thanks for the information - do I need a special glue or will "super glue" work.

You will see from my previous - the postage costs from the USA are rather steep - do you know of any EU or UK suupliers of the bezel dot??

Many thanks

Hello again

You do not happen to know who can supply in the EU or UK - the postage costs from the WATCHMATERIAL.COM are rather steep.

Thanks again

The Watchmaterial pearl is the closest to the gen pearl out there that I know of.

The only way to get a better one... is to buy a gen insert with gen pearl...and that will cost you 70-150$

:dunno:

Even with the shipping it's cheaper than the one in Freddy's post...?

You could get a $10 eBay bezel insert, they usually come with free shipping, and just use the pearl if you like, but it won't be nearly as good.
