Genrep Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Has anyone got (or know where to get) a seriously close-to-gen bezel insert (with superlume pearl) and dial for the SD 16660? Ideally, I'd take 2 bezel inserts. Please help!! Thanks, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefcook Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 You can use an insert from wholesaleoutlet or watchbandman (seller names on ebay - just search for "seadweller bezel" and you'll find their shops) and replace the pearl with a watchmaterial pearl. For the dial you can try ND Trading. They offer matte 16660 re-dials for 500 USD. BTW a 16660 had Tritium lume which does not glow anymore. The tritium lume only lasts about 10 years. It would be far more correct to have a pearl that does not glow unless you get a gen rolex service dial with Superluminova (marked as "SWISS", the Tritium dial is marked as "SWISS- T<25") and a matching 16600 insert with Superluminova pearl.

alligoat Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I agree with Chefcook on everything. The dial for a 16660 and a 16600 will be the same- the later ones with the white gold surrounds around the markers- dial feet are in the same place for a 3035 (16660) and 3135 (16600) movement. Of course, Rolex used the Tritium dials until around 2000. You might be able to find a Sea-Dweller dial on the bay, but I'd figure $200-500 for one- I can't recall seeing one recently.
