watchguy51 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I'm looking for a good bezel insert w/pearl for my 1665, and I'm wondering what's the best non-gen one I can get. Thanks!
vlydog Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I have a complete bezel assembly from a old MBW 1665
Nanuq Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 A guy on PMWF sells the best aftermarket. Add a modded Yuki pearl and you're set. Sorry don't have the links, just search here for those discussions.

watchguy51 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 Any link? +1 for PMWF if you can grab one they're the best AFTM you can hope for
Cats Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 +2 for the pmwf insert. I have a Ofrei pearl in it. I don't have a link , you might find them via google , or just wait until freddy chimes in. Carpe Diem Cats
freddy333 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 PMWF insert (1665 & 5513 inserts are interchangable) Unless you are replacing the insert on an MBW, I would recommend that you measure you existing insert to be sure the PMWF insert will fit (there is little consistency between reps).
watchguy51 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for this!! Luckily it is an MBW. Any idea on the price? I'm emailing him right now anyway.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 ofrei pearl vs yuki pearl for vintage insert, what is the best choice?, assume both are empty shells
watchguy51 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 $72 for the insert without a pearl from pmwf.. more than I was hoping for.
Nanuq Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Highoey, the Ofrei is filled with green lume and Yuki is filled with yak-pee yellow. Both need to be drilled out and custom filled to look right. I wrote up some details on this awhile back. 51, that is actually a good price, you'd spend $150 for a gen, that will look 95% identical.
