Recommended Posts

Hi,

i need your skilled opinion,

i saw on ebay these faded rep insert, what do you think ? there are big flaws Vs gen insert ? :g:

the line between the number seem gen-style thicker than the cartel one..and on the top of the number there is a little space like gen.

the diameter seem correct for cartel bezel..Outer diameter 36.50mm, Inner diameter 30.20mm

link and pics example

Yeah I don't know how you guys can tell the difference between a gen insert and a high quality insert like Yuki.   You guys amaze me.

@RickFlorida do you mean that yuki bezel-insert is the best for the 1680 ? On his website I saw only one bezel insert named 'rolex sea-dweller submariner bezel insert'

Yes I'm asking if yuki have correct fat font numbers for 1680 and if there is other big flaws that I can't see on it.

The insert on my eBay link (that maybe is = WSO) in my opinion is not to bad , is similar to the gen service: tiny number(not fat), number 4 with top little squared, little space between the top of each numbers and edge of the insert, fat indices between numbers.

The Yuki is pretty darn good, but there are differences between it and a gen Fat Font.  And MANY hundreds of dollars in price.  

 

Take a look at these, one is a Yuki and the other is gen fat font.  Which is which?
