1680 Red Sub Mk II
I am thinking of purchasing this piece but I have my concerns with the bezel inert since the 40 looks off to me. Any assistance and/or opinions are welcomed.
Thanks |

It's not an original insert for the watch, so it doesn't matter much whether it's fake or service. Neither is worth much. Just factor in the cost of a correct replacement.

Thanks for confirmation that the insert is incorrect.

Before you dismiss...
If the price is in line with the added cost to source a correct bezel insert then why not. Curious the asking price. |

I'll share TRF feedback with the seller and see what comes of it. Again, thanks everyone for the comments!

After some back and forth with the seller we settled on a price that worked for both of us. More importantly I was able to reach out to a fellow TRF member who was able to help me source a beautiful bezel insert, as well as matching pearl or pip.
Again, thanks for the feedback as always! |

By the way, I've seen "pip" used all over the place lately (whereas I've always called it a pearl). Is it an acronym? What does it mean? |

@rom I took the watch to ABC Watchwerks whom I has been using for the last 5 years or so.
@Racer X That is a good question pearl vs. pip... |

So no one knows what "pip" means? Assuming it's an acronym...
