Thoughts on this Gen Insert?

[sublym]

Got a great deal on a gen insert from someone on ebay with a 100% 127 rating.
Thought I would post the photos here to get opinion from Rolex experts? It has a caramel pearl.
Thank you

I'm not an expert but that caramel looks delicious to me. [emoji106] [emoji2]

How much did you get it for? What build is it going on?

I got it for a steal.. 135 pounds in perfect condition.
Was going to throw it on a TC (already have a LV TC and love the green bezel)

However thinking of offloading it as I really want a ceramic sub :[

It's not for a 16610 font completely different, its a 14060 2 liner or a sd insert depending on size.I think the 14060 insert maybe smaller than a 16610 insert

I bet if u clean it with a tooth brush u will be amazed. Like I told dude to clean his gen tt sub c

135 pounds doesn't sound like such a steal to me. Unless the British Pound is now less than the USD.

It's a flat "4" so it's for an older sub with lug holes. That is, if you care to be period correct.

Its a sea dweller insert as the font is completely different to a 16610 insert even the flat 4 16610 insert is not like this.also 5513 insert is similar but a lot more skinny font than this sd insert

this insert if from a sea dweller

this insert is from a sea dweller

Also this 14060 k serial uses this same insert as the sd

135 pounds doesn't sound like such a steal to me. Unless the British Pound is now less than the USD.

and another 14060

Op u have the wrong insert

 

[sublym]

Oh wow, thanks for telling me!

I thought it was well priced because everything else was going for much more $$$ with inferior condition, chips/scratches/cracks/damaged pearls/missing pearls.

What is the value of this?

this one sold for 100 pounds with a crack in in the pearl.u will get your money back when u sell ,the 14060 insert outside diameter is 36.55mm inside diameter: 29.7mm it's smaller than a 16610 insert.the sd insert is also smaller than a 16610 insert,it's the same as a 14060 so will not fit a 16610.the sd/14060 insert is identical in diameter and font.so u can sell it as a 16600/14060 insert.hope that helped I've even found u the correct insert to buy at a good price of 85 pounds
