the 5508 insert is a peculiar size..its a a couple micron's smaller than the standard 5513 insert.
unfortuantely they are quite rare and you will pay thru the teeth for a nice example..
good luck my friend!!
Hi Steven,
Thanks for your help. I did manage to get the bezel and retaining spring luckily, but there ws this awful modern copy insert with it. See http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=82507 (#16)
I complained to the supplier, thats when he sent me the vintage insert form the Turn-o-graph along with its bezel and as you know, the insert is a different size.

so thats where I'm at. Hope it make sense!
Cheers.
