bpolo Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Hi All, Very new to this.. I'm about to buy the TC V4 SUB...Without rehaut engraving, and no LEC........My question..The Bezel Inserts he has on hand are subpar, according to him, and a Gen insert, is more than I can afford right now. So I narrowed it down to a Clark Bezel Insert $14 w/ an Ofrei Pearl $24 . Or a PMWC Insert $65 w an Ofrei Pearl $24... Which would you go with? Are the PMWC inserts worth the extra $$..http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSALES/WatchSparePartsSalesTable.htm Also, are there any tutorials on how to replace the pearl? Yes, I did try searching, and couldnt find it...I remember seeing it before, but cant seem to find it now, so I can bookmark it... Im also wondering if its worth the extra $$ to just get a BK finished, with insert and pearl... Thanks Again B Edited June 4, 2012 by bpolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 the cost youre quoting for the "PMWC" + ofrei pearl you can find several used gen inserts for that price. have you considered the WO insert +ofrei pearl (as pictured below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpolo Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Im sorry, I'm still learning the abbreviations here...What company is WO? Id like the best most accurate option for a reasonable price..Preferably under $100, and obviously the Clark at $14 would be great, unless you guys think its not accurate..Ive been looking for GEN, but at that price, all Ive been finding are scratched, vintage looking ones.. Thanks Again B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm currently waiting on my Tc IV at the moment B, tbh I looked around quite a bit for a Gen insert, got one on here brand new for not much more than your looking at now, pm me if you want any details 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are you saying Ofrei sells sapphire cap pearls for modern subs? I have purchased several acrylic pearls for vintage subs from Ofrei, but I have never seen modern pearls. Link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watch4king Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'd be interested in that link too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagman26 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 What about the WM pearls? What is the biggest difference between the Ofrei and WM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanic Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have not purchased an Ofrei pearl before, but I have purchased a WM pearl and the biggest issue seems to be that the pearls are not pure white ; ie off white or ivory and sometimes they look as if they are not filled completely, also they are not SL or Luminova. But it is not unheard of for modders to purchase 4-5 at a time to get a very good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
