Incorrect Insert/Pearl From Ofrei

Recommended Posts

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?

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:

Great looking sub! 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.
