I bow to your far greater knowledge @alligoat I think I have seen both on later gilt dials 1967 and MilSub is feet first. So I guess 1967was the change point?

As previously stated, with Rolex...

You can be sure that there is overlap - meters first on post-‘67 Subs.

It’s documented that the m/f to f/m was marketing driven.

I’m obviously not the expert - I had to find out which dial was appropriate for my case period?

WSO parts are garbage. Bought many, returned all. I would stay away.

WSO Bezel received yesterday.

Insert pre-installed.

When I mounted bezel, it spun too easily, so I removed the bezel to bend the spring for tension (familiar with this - done many times before).

Insert popped out and would not “snap” into bezel ring.

Looks like it was previously glued in place.

 

On it’s way back to Sugarland.

 

I have bought WSO inserts in the past, for later sapphire crystal Subs & GMTs - no problems and very satisfied with the quality.  

 

Other than the rachet feature (bi-directional click on GMT) of sapphire models, the 5513/5512/1680 design is similar, in that the Insert should snap firmly into the Ring, right?

 

Thanks, Chris

A gen insert would snap into a gen bezel, at least when factory fresh. With reps the tolerances vary. Some inserts need to be glued some don’t, some need the edges and base sanded before they even fit.

So, aside from a Gen, could I reasonably expect that a Yuki or MQ assembly (Insert & Ring) to snap together, without glue?

The WSO did fit my retainer properly.
