Blue insert for my red sub 1680
Hi, can someone find me a blue insert for my red sub, any idea where I can look for one? Are they also available in any other colours? Mine currently has the original black insert so just thought would experiment with blue or some other colour:),
Thanks |

Are you referring to an insert that has faded? If your insert is original to the watch I dont see why you would want to change it but if you feel the need make sure you get a fat font insert and keep the one you have. I would check VRF or contact Steve and see if he has one for sale. Good luck.

Thanks, yes, meant an insert faded to blue, would be saving the original for sure, it's a easy swap right? Would give me some play to experiment if get one:)

three options ....
original black to blue fade ..rare ...probably occurs through exposure to something along the way...  tudor/silver font 1680/8 blue insert ..usually a glossier blue and hard to find in a fat font alternatively aftermarket ..try the look for 20 bucks !! its all the cartier look ... http://images.antiquorum.com/216/full/413.jpg http://images.antiquorum.com/151/full/354.jpg |
