mezzanine Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Gotta find a gen. I don't know as much about the moderns, but the difference is worth it. They're a [censored] to find, totally overpriced, but I personally am yet to see a rep insert that gets the 'look' of the genuine. The issue is that the insert is the only 'colored' part of the watch, and as a result, your eye is drawn there automatically. It seems to me as though the genuine inserts are created in a different manner than the aftermarkets. On the moderns, I don't think it would be as significant. Those inserts are more generic looking than trying to capture the appearance of a faded '70's insert. The genuines almost seem like they're completely steel/metal. Even the black painted sheen seems like it's metallic. The reps look like acrylic paint painted on plastic or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeseg Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 My two cents ... monitor TZ and Elite Deal Seeker with your chosen search word of 'insert' and see what the Gods may bring. I found a gen Submariner insert off of TZ for $50.00 shipped. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
