Icon19 How to secure the pearl in an old insert

Fellow Collectors

With which glue do you secure your Pearls grom the back of your Inserts?

Does anybody know, what stuff the Rolex Dealers are using? I'm not really happy with the idea to ruin a tritium pearl with the wrong glue.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers Alex

I thought they just snapped in? At least when new.

They do when they're new but replacements may need glue.

You are right. They snap, but to be honest -> I don't trust that little plastic lip, which should hold it.

and -> Yes glue, but what kind of glue is a pro using? for our screw f.e. we are using special loctide...
