Looking for a new ( a few) inserts for some experiments for my 1680. Im looking for nice ones with a just price tag, usable for the "1:1" cartel bezel - click in.

What are the best place to get these, where are the best pearls hidden and what ebay seller/ watch store gives the most bak for the buck?

Kind regards, and pictures to come ;)

Experiments??? As in fading experiments? It's recommeded that you use bleach and underestimate the time you put it in the solution since residual bleach might continue to fade the insert afterwards.

As for the inserts I know (all prices are estimate from memory):

Mr. Slimeball $14 (not accurate at all)

Clark's (modern thin font) $20

Yuki (fat font): $30 (fades to grey)

PMWF (thin font) $65 (fades to grey)- best aftermarket.

For reference ID: 30.4 mm OD: 36.5 mm

As with pearls, stick with yuki and ofrei. They're around 25 dollars each. either that or make your own pearl from epoxy and lume.

of course there's always gen, that can be found for $ 160+. So either experiment or buy gen.. your choice.
