Hi gang,

I recently purchased a Submariner 116619 LB Blue Ceramic V7 Noob A2836 from a M2M sale. Great watch, but unfortunately after wearing it about 4 times the little pearl has gone missing. What is the advised procedure for getting it replaced? Buy one on ebay and put it in? Send to a watch repair guy on here? I'm sure an AD could do it too, but I don't think that's a good idea. Any other suggestions? I'm located in the western US. Thanks!

AD can do it? I doubt it. Hopefully your watch won’t be confiscated right there on the scene.

Thanks for the reply, very helpful.

Anybody have any leads on specific pearls that I could put in, or specific people that could do the fix for me?

I sent one to a member repgeek in the uk, he was talented enough to fix it himself!

Bump.

Any other ideas? Do I need to get a new bezel insert? Any leads on a pearl replacement that would match lume color to the dial?
This has to happen with some frequency...I lost the pearl on a previous sub a long time ago so I can't be the only one this is happening to.
