irolexu Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 So today I bought a genuine insert that my local watch maker sourced for me that is brand new. one major problem though. the pearl does not glow at all any more!!! I left it in the sun for 5 minutes walked inside and even got it in the darkest room and no green luminous. So I am wondering what should I do or what CAN I do? Is it possible to have the insert relumed? can I buy a gen pearl somewhere? what should I do? the big reason I bought a genuine insert was for the luminous perfect pearl. PICS BELOW.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) its because you bought a 16800 insert, you want the pointy 4 in 40 (16800 16610)insert with that pearl. i have a gen insert im not using with the SL pearl.

gavidoc Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Actually the flat 4 is correct for a tritium pearl and they were also available for luminova pearl. Modern replacement inserts with super luminova pearls are a pointy 4. If your dealer has anymore pearls I need one for my gen 16800. Lost my pearl the other day. Or I'll buy that pearl. Eiffel you could please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 PBdad is going to SL the pearl for me instead of me having to source a whole new pearl so this is a huge relief! I believe he may have one more insert left for all I know its the one with SL and he just gave me the wrong one not knowing what I was intending...oh well it all works itself out in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
