yousif1980 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hello folks, I have an issue with my SDDS that i purchased from Trusty a while back. The watch is great, feels awesome, and keeps very good time. However, the pearl on the bezel fell off and Im not sure how to go about fixing this. I know I can get a new bezel from andrew but there is always a chance that it doesnt fit. i lived that scenario with my Panari. Do you guys know how I can source a replacement pearl? You're help is much appreciate, Fady I attache d a pic of the watch too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard1979 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Email Trusty about it. I had the same issue, he sent me a replacement. Then i used epoxy to install it (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WKIHD6/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Try the pearl first if it fits. I had to use a tiny drill to make hole in the insert a bit bigger and clean the remaining old glue. Don`t use superglue just in case you need to replace the pearl again.

Deckard1979 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Also: this insert fits well http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_89&products_id=10462 Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 You lost the pearl filler, not the mount .. why not have a modder use lume and clear epoxy to refill the mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yousif1980 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Thanks Deckard, very useful info, I emailed Andrew and I'll wait and see what he says, worst case scenario, I get the ceramic insert. Is the insert easy to pop out? I'll wait on any other mods for now. Does anyone know how much a gen pearl costs? it wouldnt be a bad idea to replace it with a real one !!

yousif1980 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 wow this is a great tutorial. so you just gently push the insert in, no glue of any kind? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky4691 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I also lost the pearl. From my sub that I bought from Andrew and after contacting him about this he sent me a new pearl with pearl bezel at no charge. I took it to a local jeweler who replaced it with a small amount of glue and it has been working great ever since. Andrew will do anything he can to make sure his customers are happy. Just contact him with all info about your watch and I'm sure he will be glad to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
