2005SUBMARINER Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 i 1st saw this insert in one of UBI'S post i think he called it his UBIMARINER i liked the silver/silver look so i replaced my standard black insert with this silver one . i installed it in my daily beater i think it looks cool , 90% of my watches have black inserts & all look alike so this is a refreshng change for me .. oh this insert originaly came with a red pearl & i removed the red paint with nail polish remover to expose the luminus pearl ..

By-Tor Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Looks surprisingly nice. Actually it looks a bit like Tudor Hydronaut with this setup. I have one of those grey bezel inserts (with red pearl) too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Congrats, it looks 1000 times better than the black bezel! On a watch like that, I could even consider purchasing a Rolex rep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I lost my insert on my beater SD swimming the other week and i like the way the watch looked and have been thinking of putting a yachtmaster insert in, any thoughts on how that would look? By the way my daughter found it again so it is back to black, but the thought hangs on nagging at me, after seeing this post i think i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Here's my interpretation of the Ubimariner, white sub dial and the Yachtmaster bezel. I don't know if you call it a Yachtmariner, or a Submaster. I had the silver sub bezel on it first, but didn't like it, so I put the Yachtmaster bezel on. I probably would have liked the silver sub bezel better if I had taken the red off of the pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoman Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 it looks cool, but with the silver bezel, and in the 2nd picture it gives the illusion of the black on black hands, there is something sinister about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
