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.

I just fitted my gen insert it snapped right in and didn't required any modding at all. It was a tight fit as on the gen where no glue or tape is used to hold the insert.

I also polished and put some grease on the teeth on the inside and then bended the retaining spring to make the bezel tight but smooth turning with firm clicks. I love the result booth feeling when turning it and appearance just to look at it. Gen pearl is unbeatable :)

and with a gen Tudor movement it runs great and tomorrow I will go and collect the gen leather strap and fabric strap that I ordered from my AD.

this starting to become my favorite watch!

Mine's a V2 so maybe that's why it didn't fit. Even after sanding it was a super hight fit.
I do love the watch the insert and pearl looks amazing. Mine's off to cwazy1 for relume. It's a keeper for sure.
Wear yours in good health.

I'm currently waiting on a lot of parts to get my projects going. And decided to experiment on my rep black bay insert.


So I made a new pearl for the V1 insert.


My first try here compared to the genuine. I will do a couple untill I reach a very gen like form and size. My first isn't so good.
