KBH 7 Posted June 8, 2009 I just received a gen Sea Dweller insert for my SSD. It was a perfectly tight snap in fit. Makes an excellent upgrade and a nice finishing touch. I'll keep it here until the new BK WM9 Sea Dweller arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted June 8, 2009 I picked up two black inserts and one blue, all gen, last year off the bay. One insert is in my TWB Sub, the other is going to donate it's pearl to my WM9 LV from BK when it eventually turns up, the TT was bought on a whim. I've had this conversation with Doc a while ago and you can really tell the difference of the real deal to the rep IMO. What did you pay KBH? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted June 8, 2009 Got it from Nora on RWI for $80. Don't know if that's good or bad but he was asking 80 euros and said make offer. What do they normally go for? The insert itself is also much smoother and shinier than the rep, I noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The insert itself is also much smoother and shinier than the rep, I noticed. That's a fair price. They go for $100 on the Rolex forum. I got lucky on E-Bay once from a seller called vvel and got a used one for $30 something, the first one I bought cost $80, so you did alright. Best mod you can do IMO...

P_Diddy 0 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Can someone please post a pic of the gen insert vs the WM9 rep sub insert. Wanna see just how much difference there really is? Cheers PD Edited July 27, 2009 by P_Diddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted July 27, 2009 Can someone please post a pic of the gen insert vs the rep insert. Wanna see just how much difference there really is? Cheers PD That's like asking for a picture of a car and a Ferarri for comparison. There are hundreds of different inserts and hundreds of different pearls, some decent and some real bad.

ubiquitous 0 Posted July 27, 2009 For reference, the entire bezel on the my old WM9 is gen; crystal retaining ring > washer > click > bezel ring > insert, as is the 295C crystal. That's like asking for a picture of a car and a Ferarri for comparison. There are hundreds of different inserts and hundreds of different pearls, some decent and some real bad. Agreed. Lots of variables out there; only one standard for gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
