Red Triangle Bezel insert for 5512/5513

[Xanderdbs]

Ive been trying to get a red triangle insert for my 5512 and 5513 (aftermarket) but cant seem to find one. I know that the 5512 for sure came with a red triangle bezel insert during its first year of production although i cant seem to find any replacements. Ive read around about how the 5513 bezel inserts snaps right into the 5510 bezel though i don't feel to confident about the 5510 replacement fitting the 5513.

I would love to hear feedback from everyone, also I would appreciate if people wouldnt comment about keeping my watch all original and how outrageous it might sound to do what i am doing.

-thank you

Think you need to show us a picture of what you are worried to damage.

Do you have a square guard or eagle beek 5512 or a big crown 5510?

Just to clarify:
You want an aftermarket, red triangle insert for you 1972 5513?

The ref 5512/5513 for sure never came with a red triangle insert in 1972

Its a little aesthetic change that can easily be reversed if i every needed the watch to be all original again

I'm aware of this... It was done only for a year in 1958 when the first 5512 was released. The reason im asking around is they must have recycled the bezels from the 5510 for the first year

Heres an example to show that im not tripping and that this existed
