mjmurphy926 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Today I made my new SSD wearable! CG's: gen inlay and pearl: Thanks for looking! Omega, Looks great. I'm pretty much a noob and want to swap the insert on my SSD. I have a few different inserts on the way. I've addressed this on another thread, but... Did you remove the bezel to do the insert swap? Can the insert be removed without removing the bezel? If you removed it, what did you use, and what was your technique? I may even want to tackle the CGs. I only hope it turns out half as nice as yours. Great job. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's better to remove the bezel I think. 2. Yes! Remove the pearl first, then you can pull the insert with a toothpick out. 3. A gen Rolex insert can be used, but you have to grind the inlay on sandpaper, on the side and the underside. It's a very long act, I can tell you! I also have a aftermarket inlay with gen pearl, and it click's it in the bezel without modifications, but the inlay is unter tension! It can click out everytime... For the CG's I used a "Dremel", but you must be very careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 NICE!!! //robi Hvala, Robi! It was one of the best jobs I did, because the tube was not taken out by shaping the CG's. It was a very risky job... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very long act, I can tell you! Just curious, Omega, which igen insert did you use? The 315-16600-1 for a SD, or the 315-16800-1 for the submariner? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I use a insert for the 14060 (No-Date-Sub), that is identical with the 315-16600-1 you are talking about. The 315-16800-1 is too big for a Sea-Dweller, it's for the Date-Sub!

alligoat Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 OK, thanks. I knew the real SD takes a diffferent size insert from the 16610/16800 Sub, but you never know with the reps. Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
