UmpaHimself Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I needed to get two vintage style acrylic pearls. I placed an order with Ofrei for two 5513 inserts since they were less then $10 more then just the pearl itself. They arrived today but with the more modern style generic pearl with the metal surround like this: The part number is specifically different then the other black insert they have made for the 16800. But now as I look on the site I am thinking that has to do with the inner diameter of the insert. One for a watch with plexi, one for sapphire. Now my question is which is the right pearl to order. I don't want to make another mistake so is this the right part for the acrylic pearl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell the Yuki pearl looks the same as the WSO pearl at double the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi, by far the best 5513 insert I have (with a "double-domed" pearl or whatever it´s a pearl covered with acrylic), is this one (not the cheapest) from WSO: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEZEL-INSERT-FOR-VINTAGE-ROLEX-SUBMARINER-5513-1680-PLASTIC-ACRYLIC-PEARL-12-/310977055461?hash=item4867ad4ae5 It just looks great and different from all others, it has kind of an inner glow and 3D look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought the WSO pearl in the past but it's a little too tall and narrow IMO. I believe the gen is a little flatter and wider and was under the impression that Ofrei carried something that is basically identical.
