Milsub insert for 16610?

[Hinclimincli]

I have been trying to find a milsub, full indexed insert for my Ginault but I can’t find any version with the required dimensions. All the ones I can find are too small (as they should be, being that they should only work for a 5513-17).

Has anyone found a way to get a milsub insert on a 16610-size case/bezel?

Never mind, I completely forgot about Tiger Concept. They have a milsub style insert with similar dimensions: www.tiger-concept.com/5508-insert.html

I’ve ordered one, let’s see what comes up!

I’m interested to see if these fit mine as well. Look forward to update.

Alright, insert received and it does fit indeed. The problem is that I messed it up leaving it too much in the oven, my idea was to just get a nice creamy patina on the lume pip and after just 15 minutes it was all chocolate brown, lol. I have just ordered another one of the exact model and will supervise the baking process at all times.

Given that I take the insert as lost, I thought I would experiment a little bit with bleach and the result isn't that bad, actually!

Yep that's a nice looking color combo indeed.

‘Looks good! And the cream colored hands and hour markers go well with the milk chocolate color of your insert.

Why thank you guys! I still want to see how it looks with a traditional black insert, although I confess I like the bleached look!

Did this insert snap in or using a sticker of sorts?
Ive always thought this would be a sweet look!

It snapped but not very tight so I used very thin double sided tape instead, just to keep it secured.

Do you have a photo of the new insert?
