Nope. Looks better without one.

60 minute markers on the insert and no cyclops on the crystal = You're basically asking for a Sea-Dweller.

My suggestion is to get yourself an Sea-Dweller 116600 = same dimensions as the Submariner 116610 = both 40mm.

I already own a James cameron. Made the mistake and went too big lol


I guess i should explain for context.. I franken’d a 114060. And I want to swap out the bezel for the one in the pic

Did a quick Google search. It seems as if a 116600 insert fits inside a 116610.

You can't be serious!
You Frankened an 114060 No Date into a 116610 Submariner Date? That makes no sense cause the 114060 is primo! Plus you would have to swap out movement from 3130 to 3135 for date complication!! Plus the case engravings would be wrong!!!

I like the idea of a matte insert on my ceramic Sub. Like the Pelagos. Sometimes I just wish it was less shiny..

A shop like LA Watchworks can do the mating on your ceramic bezel as shown here (not mine):

LA Watchworks is great. They helped me with my project actually.. they beadblasted the crown and brushed the case… I think they fucked someone’s watch up eventually after more people started requesting the ceramic matting.. they flat out refused to media blast it without any explanation. It was weird. They were just about down to do anything… EXCEPT that
