Submariner bezel insert

[bob bean]

Can anyone tell me if a Submariner bezel insert is the same size as the insert on a 5517?

I would like to replace my 5517 insert as the pearl is just awful.

And I am aware that the 5517 insert should have marks to 60 as opposed to marks to 15, I just like the imbalace of the 15 ticks.

I am really new to Rollies so this may be an obvious question...hope not.

cheers in advance

Well,

A vintage or replacement 5513, 5513 or 1680 will fit. However, if you go with a Gen and your 5517 isn't an MBW, tou will have to mod the insert and use glue to install it.

Good luck and welcome to the realm of the Crown.
