marrickvilleboy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Have a standard cartel seamaster 300 vintage (not recent release of the remake) and lost the bezel insert. They are like a clearing insert wire black printed on from the underside. Anyone know if we are able to source it somewhere? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Maybe ask Angus or Toro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks whoopy. Any chance you could PM me their emails? I have never purchased from either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyr Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 To OP, are you sure your insert was clear/painted plexi? All the reps I have seen have had the wrong type insert made out of aluminum. I don't think the original bakelite insert is available, or would fit the rep bezel if you found one. You can get the aluminum insert from an ebay retailer. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/BEZEL-INSERT-OMEGA-300-SEAMASTER-1965-1968-SWISS-/160568670219?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2562a3780b Here is mine with a couple mods. ( I hope we are talking about the same type watch) In any case, good luck in your search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yeah definitely the clear acrylic one with underside painted, I've taken it off to check the construction. Thanks for the help though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyr Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Interesting, I have not seen one with the plastic insert. Please let me know if you come up with a plexi replacement source. I would like to pick one up as well. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks whoopy. Any chance you could PM me their emails? I have never purchased from either! I don't have their emails, but I'd suggest pm'ing Angus on Repgeek and Toro here on RWG Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I went through my emails and found that I bought it from Silix. The odd thing is that in their pictures, it is a aluminum style insert but I got the watch, it was the clear plexi type. Strange indeed. I've inquired again, keep you posted to see if they can help me. They may or may not have the plexi anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
