Nanuq Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 There I was, working on my watch, and I solved the Grand Unification Theory conundrum! No seriously, a very generous member here sent me an incredibly nice aged insert and pearl for my 6536 "Bond" Submariner. I popped it on and it looks GREAT. So what to do with the gen insert I had on there for 14 years? I looked at the scabby POS insert on my MBW 1665 and thought I'd try a swap. Believe it or not, the 6536 insert is a perfect fit on a 1665 Sea Dweller. Who woulda thunk it??
maxman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Always nice when things work out. Props to the member who sent you the Insert.
Nanuq Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 You mean THIS lovely insert? Hooooooooooooooooooooly smokes!
praetor Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) are they really the same size??? wow.. would never thought. Isn't it much harder to get a 6536 insert?? Edited October 12, 2011 by praetor
Nanuq Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Nope, you can get a 6536 insert from any 1665, 1680 or 5512/3 and there's an ongoing argument over whether the 6536 insert had "minute" tick marks from 00 - 15 minutes. I've seen them both ways. The bezel is what's hard to find! Who would have thought these are the same size?
maxman Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 You mean THIS lovely insert? Hooooooooooooooooooooly smokes! Nice...has that "lived In" look
PeteM Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Nice...has that "lived In" look Same as the owner ! :)
