Does this LN bezel insert look ok? I just tried to fit it about ten times and no matter how I tried the insert would just spin loose after the bezel was clicked into place and the insert would drop off before long.

After an hour I gave up and popped the LV back on and everything clicked into place nice and easy.

Few things to note - the LN is very flat and flexible compared to the LV which has some relief and shape to it. The LN Pearl is also partly outside of the 12 o clock pyramid marker.

Will I need a better insert?

What you probably need is an authentic insert.

This one was supposed to be. Paid £70 for it too.

The LN doesn’t seem as good as the original LV.

LV and LN inserts are identical except for the color and are fully interchangeable.

What I meant was, the LN that I just purchased doesn’t seem as good.

I would suspect the difference in quality indicates a non genuine insert.

can anyone point me to a genuine one (in the UK)?

What you're describing is an aftermarket insert - Flat and bendy with no springy to it.

Was it new in sealed Rolex package? Fakes are small and have to be glued in.
