Help me identyfing this insert

[sputim]

Got this insert and it is supposedly from a 5513. What is weird tho, is that it has a glass pearl. Nevertheless, it is smaller than a 16610 insert for instance (see photo). Quality wise I would 100% say it is gen. Very solid (as all my gen inserts), perfect pearl and nice sheen and numbers. Was there ever a 5513 that used an insert with glass cladded pearl? I did my research but couldn't find an answer. Every help is appreciated

Don't know if its the light, but from your photos, the pearl looks slightly too far to the right, check the metal housing of the sapphire, as said, it could be the angle/light though.

You are right it is minimal to the right but almost impossible to see with the naked eye and probably still within gen tolerance. Looking at it very closely and also compared to my other gen 16610 insert the pearl loos perfect (superior lumed than tc's latest insert).

Maybe the sapphire has been fitted by a previous owner due to losing the original?

Thought about this as well, but the hole on the back has the perfect size and no glue residuals or similar whatsoever...

Sure is interesting, maybe post on TRF to see if there was even this kind of sapphire clad pearl fitted to a 5513 model?

got it! Completely forgot about the 14060 which hast inner diameter of 29.7mm. That's the solution

You could be right there, I disregarded a seadweller under the impression they all had minute markers, but the early ones didn't.

You're welcome

This blocked - squashed 4 is only on the Sea Dweller. 14060 would have a flat or pointed 4 but always long 4 and not cut in half.

Great info! So it is not a flat 4 insert?

Alright so this will eventually end up in m2m since I don't plan on building a sd..
