stevedrk Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Recently,I decided that I could no longer stand looking at the terrible blob of a pearl on my A21J Sub C and decided to do something about it. I filed it down, painted it, etc, but it still just looked like crap. My brother had a bezel insert from a 16610 laying around that he'd purchased off eBay so I decided to give it a try. It actually fit well, which I didn't expect and it at least has a pearl I can live with. Here are a few photos for reference. Here are a few pictures in sunlight. Thanks for looking.

fidhle007 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Haha, awesome! That doesn't look very accurate but I love the resourcefulness of it! It actually looks like my first canal st rep now... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedrk Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Definitely not accurate, but I like it. Now I don't vomit everytime I see the pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertiadrifter Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 It looks like a Sub LV with a black insert instead of the green. I like it. P.s. is this a noob Sub C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Looking good As above, not accurate, but who cares about 'accuracy', when personal tastes are involved... It looks good, and that's all that matters Similarly, I've seen a budget version of the GMTIIc with a standard black bezel instead of the ceramic bezel, and likewise, it may not be accurate, but on its own merits as a watch, it looks slick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedrk Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not a noob. It has a really crappy A21j movement that is real choppy and jumpy. Case even says 16610 on it. Not worth doing anything to so putting on a spare bezel insert to replace the broken on made sense.
