is it that the insert was made to Gen specs and my PO is not... or is the insert too small?

The entire diameter of the blue insert would need to be stretched about 1-2mm larger to fit.

I looked back on his store, and he uses the same generic pic for 42 & 45.5... are they supposed to be the exact same?

I bought a black one from the same seller yesterday. I tell you if I got the same problem as soon as I got mine.

which did you buy? Was it a 42mm like mine? I saw the insert for a PO chronograph, it looks like a better fit in the pic... not sure if that means anything to what you actually get though.

I got a black bezel for the 42mm PO. And on the PO 42 the gen bezel will be a direct fit so I can't see why this shouldn't fit the rep bezel. But I'll wait and see.

nobody knows?

I was sent a 45.5 version by mistake once.

So they are different?

Ill post a pic in a minute. I know there seems to be a discrepancy with the date window location, but my watch is a 42mm. I bought a 42mm insert and its too small.

i think all of the reps are 42.5mm but the gens are 42mm, but i could be wrong

Where did you buy it from? WSO, as well?

Would you mind measuring the diameter of the insert for me, please?

Now i got my insert, it was a perfect fit. but i modded the pearl so it have the pearl from the gen 5 insert. diameter is 38.00 mm.

I bought two bezel inserts from ebay and they both fit exactly. This from wholesaleoutlet. In fact I think it fits better than the factory insert. the only thing is that the pearl and pearl cup fall out easily. in fact the pearl is not even pearly. it's just heavily lumed in the stainless steel pearl cup.
