FxrAndy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think the insert lookd good but the pearl could do with some inprovement. Do you still have one from the old insert or did it come with out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 i still have it do you need it ? I think Andy might've been suggesting that you install the pearl in the new insert Other than the pearl, it looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_sphere Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 It should... That pearl screams fake. http://www.watchmaterial.com/viewitem.asp?idProduct=1800 Get this. Be happy that no one can identify your rep from a few feet away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cableguy Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 watchmaterial.com is where u can get the almost gen like pearl. is the whole watch polished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 That insert on E-bay is just fine. Same company as JO so I would expect the same insert. Your CGs arent too bad, easy mod with some sandpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 i would just pop the pearl out. I like the look of submariners without the pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
