Rolex Ceramic Inserts - Need Help

[wiseguy1481]

Hey Gents,

 

I am having a heck of a time sourcing GEN ceramic inserts for my Submariners - 116610 and 116618 (Blue/gold).

 

Honestly in my opinion the pearl on the subs is what gives the watch away from the get go.... are there any current reps out there that are getting better and if so, where can I source just the inserts themselves?

 

Thanks,

Wise

Honestly there is no "real" substitute for the gen insert. Live1 can explain in great detail why. But in short gen is gen. Aftermarket just falls short IMO.

Hey my man, I agree but are there any reps out there that at least "get the job done" and are a close 2nd place so that I can at least wear my watches until I can source a gen?

 

The rep inserts/pearls I have now for both watches are 100% off. I have seen a few of you post pics of your BP/Noobs 116610 subs and the pearl doesn't look all that bad.

wholesale outlet WSO on ebay sells them. They look better than the one that comes on the reps. But still about 70% off. At least you can wear your watch until you find a gen. Good luck on finding a gen, been searching for months with no luck They also have the blue

Noob v3 insert is the best option to date. It's just finding a noob v3 watch in stock that's the challenge.
