sputim Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 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.

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).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Maybe the sapphire has been fitted by a previous owner due to losing the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 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...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Sure is interesting, maybe post on TRF to see if there was even this kind of sapphire clad pearl fitted to a 5513 model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 got it! Completely forgot about the 14060 which hast inner diameter of 29.7mm. That's the solutionSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
