blue_sphere Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Did WatchMaterial.com stop making those epic inserts or what? Why does it feel like pearls have gone backwards two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Im not familiar with watchmaterial.com...but It would be nice if the factories would step up and improve on the pearls. Some of Breitlings(the one on my SA Is very good) are not to bad but the Rollies and Omegas etc... are very disappointing most of the time. As Im sure you know..this is not usually a easy fix....and that sucks. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bklm1234 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I used to like watchmaterial pearl for its sapphire cover. But it hasn't improved on the yellow rim and lume paste. The lume paste esp is dirty very often. I give up using it. But their TT pearl is just awesome with clean lume paste. I just can't understand why the SS version can't be like that. bk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Agreed bk. the pearl is a bit dark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedWings Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Totally agree with OP. I love Omegas, but I hate the rep pearl!! I picked up a gen bezel for my Seamaster chrono. I'll post pics when I have it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_sphere Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well I know that you can relume those pearls. I had it done years ago and it looks GREAT... I don't have good pics unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have always assumed everyone was changing the pearl on the WM inserts.I never thought they were particularly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have always assumed everyone was changing the pearl on the WM inserts.I never thought they were particularly good. Are there better out there? I have always thought they were the only ones available, other than epoxy mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 theyre not that bad in context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 That pearl does look good. I have to take back what I said because all my watches are tritium based and so I tend to swap out the pearl for the more primitive tritium pearls. Historically they come up on Ebay from time to time or another member helped me out and provided it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
