sub1965 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 What are the options around for good insert for a 5508/6536 1:1 case? How about a gen 5513 insert? Doable? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sub1965 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have seen their bezels, they dont have any square font, plain black(withou red triangle) insert listed for 6536/5508. Hence im wondering if a gen 5513 insert would fit the bezel. perhaps something like this: http://orologi-rolex.shop.it/img/images_db...er-6536-1-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 email and see what they have. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I bought his bezel and then a crazy expensive insert and it came out pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub1965 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks. So I have emailed MY now. So a gen 5513 insert wont fit that bezel, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 So a gen 5513 insert wont fit that bezel, right? I don't think so, but you could try- or try with a $15-20 rep 5513 insert. PMWF lists the size for the 5513 insert, OD is like 36.50, ID is 30.30mm. Maybe Natalie at NDTrading would sell you the insert only- never hurts to ask. It's not the greatest, but if you stain the pearl, it might look OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael can get inserts like the one on the right. It's dead-on accurate but lacks the "pointy four." If you're looking for square fonts then Michael's your man. While you're at it see if he has a good rounded fonts pointy-four insert too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub1965 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 alligoat, Nanuq. I already have an unused gen 5513 insert, and the measures you have there are correct. I dont have the 5508 parts yet. So the plan is to see if it would fit the 5508 right off. Nanuq, do you have any measure of a spare insert?

Nanuq Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sorry, I don't. Check Borel or Ofrei. I seem to recall them posting measures for those. Or were those numbers for crystals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 The measurements on my 5508 from NDT are 30.3mm ID, 36.5mmOD- the same as the 5513/1680. So maybe a 5513 bezel would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
