I guess that if i ever find one, it 'll stay permanently on my LV.


Please guys PM me if you have any tips. It will be kindly appreciated
the gold ones fade to silver

In the one pic you can see the part number and package for the blue insert.

It seems that they all come with the gold surround on the pearl. But not all come with gold lettering. However, the gold lettering also fades to silver

I'd favor one with the gold surround, it gives a hint of where it came from- a genuine Rolex.

Silver numbers on blue Subs inserts for Gold Subs are legit Rolex inserts, rare, but legit.


Well done Baltimore Brian, when you fit a silver circled pearl (from a black insert) it is simply perfect.

It's just a mod taking a black SubC and having the ceramic insert swapped out for a blue ceramic insert.

Anyone looking for an insert to do this change on their LV? I just saw one here, in the TRF classifieds. FYI, I am not the seller.

Has anyone done or got pics of the blue insert on a non date sub? I'd love to see the blue insert on a 14060m

Would have to be aftermarket insert. Date and no date inserts are not interchangeable.
