GMTII Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am waiting for a TC LV Sub (less bezel insert). Obviously a Gen Bezel insert is most desired...What is second best?? I am looking for one to snap into place (as it should on his current V-series offering). I have seen numerous sellers on eBay, looked at cousinsUK, watchmaterial.com, It's all a blurr. Sooo many complaints on these reasonably priced after market bezels. Please include any link to find easily. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 There are no accurate aftermarket inserts with good pearls. The closest you can get is a wm pearl. As far as accuracy of the insert... it's a crapshoot. I'd buy a few off eBay as they are cheap. Pick the one that you like best that fits, and install the wm pearl.

woof* Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 This? http://www.watchmaterial.com/viewitem.asp?idProduct=1800 Yes, that is the only aftermarket pearl that uses gen construction. Sapphire cap over lume cup. I'd buy a few, you might get one or two that are not as good as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Pretty much the case. They can be inconsistent. I have a couple pretty unusable ones in my box from leftovers I think. The shipping is high so you might as well buy a few anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
