respond123 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi, I am looking for a source of replica submariner bezel for a 5508 style that will fit one of Andrews 5512-5517 subs. The picture shows the bezel with ribs and not fluting as is commonly found on all replica subs. Also it will need to have the locking wire spring attachment to mount on the watch. Any ideas out there are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's easy to find a bezel like that... classicwatchparts.com has 'em. They have the coin edge and fit great. He also has inserts but I've been told they're plastic and not metal. HOWEVER they won't fit a newer Sub (5512/17). The retaining ring and dimensions are different from the early no-crown-guards Subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
respond123 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wow thats great I went up to their site and sure enough they have the bezel but its $330.00! For an after market bezel? I guess this is an expensive hobby. Thank you for the tip I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 No problem. That price should include an insert... if you watch Ebay those pieces come up once in awhile separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
