Tudor Black Bay bezel inserts.

[jessemack]

So, we all know that gen Rolex Submariner inserts are easy to come by and fit in the reps like TC-Subs. Are there gen Tudor Black Bay inserts out there to purchase? One of the things that I always notice right away on the BB reps is the damn pearl shape. The watches are beautiful until I focus on that pearl.

Any info into sourcing a gen insert is welcome. Thanks.

To my knowledge nobody has put a gen insert on a rep BB. I have never even seen a gen insert for sale.

if the insert bothers you that much it's best to just move on. I don't own a ceramic because I can't stand the insert. I have purchased several but end up selling them shortly after. Just my thoughts.

Bothers me the same as those ceramic reps, but if a gen bezel insert could be installed... Then, no more bothers. Obviously gen Rolex inserts are all over The Bay and the Rolex forums. It would be great if the Tudor inserts became easily available too. Maybe a $100 - $200 upgrade to make a great franken rep? I'm game.

Gen bezels are available but as hard to get as green submariner inserts...

My BB V1 with gen insert:

Lol. Ok... I didn't wanna sound like a wimp and say "envy". Haha. I know he will have more. No rush for me. I actually scored a gen black bay pearl from TRF 2 months ago and haven't installed it yet. Was going to put it on my blue one.

Off topic but has anyone heard any news on the pelagos??!

Thanks so much for replying to this thread! Purchased the gen BB insert and have my V1 off to Cwazy for a re-lume. Excited to pop this insert on and just stare at the watch. Ha.

Blue is rare. Black is supposed to be a fantasy

does the gen insert require any modding ?

 

[jessemack]

Posted a gen Tudor bezel insert in the RWI sales "watch parts" section for anyone looking for one.

I had to sand mine on the outer edge a bit to make it fit it.

Although damn close, but I have noticed the color and how the light reflect off the rep and the gen insert is different.
