DONHIN Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 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. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I work mainly on vintage, so I cannot guarantee this pearl will fit, but it is a simple cement-in job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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??

woof* Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 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 Gordon 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$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Gordon :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.
