one more question Frank.

Could you make a close up pic of the rehaut tickness.

BT pointed that it was seriously missing and I agree...

What is your opinion ?

Cheers

This is great news. Does it look like a genuine crystal might fit?

[gioarmani]

A word of caution--there are crowns that "fit" tubes, but the sizes don't match properly in order for the gaskets to seal.

Can you pressure test it to see if the rep tube's O-rings seal properly (i.e. water-tight) to the gen crown? Thanks.

i did not install the crown on the SD - i just checked if it fits -

i have only one gen crown here that i want to install in my noobmariner.

so - no pressure test - sorry

[rosnik]

Sorry Kelster,

can you get one side picture of the SD with the GEN inset?

I ask fro this, just to see if the glass clearance is reduced or not with the GEN insert.

PS: I'm waiting for delivery of mine from Precioustime, I hope to receive tomorrow or Monday.

[rosnik]

That's rotating bezel unfortunately is not 1:1 construction.

It's like MBW bezel.

[slickdick]

Personally i could care less if construction is 1:1, most important is, it accepts insert withouth modding the insert. the so called 1:1 construction from watchamster9 does not accept gen insert.

This is great info and considering I looked at a Gen SD at Tourneau last night $$$$$$$.

I've been comparing the inserts from Frank's pictures (rep and gen replacement). They look very close. Would purchasing a Illumines Dot for Bezel Insert from Ofrei, http://www.ofrei.com/page_151.html, and installing that in the stock bezel work?????

yes the stock insert is very good - if you can just get a nice pearl - go for it.

@rosnik will post pic later - im at work now but the gen insert sits just like the rep insert.

I thought that the Illumines Dot for Bezel Insert, http://www.ofrei.com/page_151.html, is just the dot. Can you confirm this. And thanks for your pictures and sharing of information. Eric.

for a pearl check www.watchmaterial.com - they should have the best aftermarked pearls

or try to get a used gen insert and use it from there.

i don't know the stuff ofrei sells - i pay 40-55 Euro for gen inserts (when i find one).
