Hi Guys,

Need some help,

Sitting at my desk this morning, I glanced at the time and oh $#% I noticed the pearl was gone from my 16613….

Any idea where to source one, my 16613 is a pretty early model so I think a shiny new one would look out of place.. Is an alternative even an option?

At times like this I think a Casio isn’t such a bad idea hahah

cheers

Maybe you can source an original bezel used or NOS which will likely have some patina and more closely match you watch

Damn.. the whole bezel... ?!?

Or, he could save several hundred dollars and just buy a replacement aluminum insert for $100, give or take. Any RSC or independent watchmaker with a Rolex parts account can make the switch for you.

You could start here and work your way up in expense. :)

No just the insert only but it might be possible to replace the pearl only inserts from Rolex around $75.

Yes a genuine insert should be under $100, try RSC first.
