My daily beater seamaster has lost the lume dot from its pearl. I would like to replace it but have no idea where to source either the lume dot or an entire pearl. Any help / advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

What kind of Seamaster rep?

Post photos!

There's lots of options like dropping a gen pearl or even a gen insert.

Just a heads up to all....

The pearl I got from WO appears to be the $10 Watch Materials offering (I should know, I bought 4 of the WM's 5 months ago).

So, you get a $10 pearl with a shipping cost of $9.95 with no lube or reach around. AND it took them a week to actually send it out after they told me it was shipped......

That ebay one is literally waste of money. Better try to source a gen used smp bezel and use that pearl, even though the price of the bezel would be around 80% of the watch so i don't know if that worth the trouble...

I wouldnt spend a dollar on that cheap piece of junk. Buy a good accurate rep instead. Or does rep buyers have absolutely no taste??

Did you actually intend to contribute to this thread, or just spew shite?

See the part of your reply I bolded/italicized, would that not apply to you as well?

Maybe we should have a moderated section based on price under each brand thread?
I feel that its difficult to find info about the best reps for each brand.

0$->100$
100$->200$
200$->300$
300$->

That's actually a pretty good watch. Reliable QM (OS10 I think) and the bracelet is just like the big boys except for the clasp engraving. I miss mine (value wise) but I didn't want a chrono.

Hi all.

I made this insert by myself. I bought it at wholesaleoutlet99.
First, pull out the pearl and filed to widen the hole.
Second, embed a pearl into the hole.
It was 1 hour job.

WO's bezel insert is not such a suck one. The quality of insert,however, is hit and miss.
