Parts are only original once.

Some folks do like to search around and pay high prices for same-era parts for their watches. Those are still not the original parts, they are replacements.

What is a "flat four insert"?

Never mind I figured it out.
Wonder if the RSC will have one in stock?

Thanks.

16600s look better with the pearl knocked out. It's as if someone actually wore it diving.

Show up at the RSC in Dallas without a bezel insert and the price is double retail for a new insert.

UPDATE:

Have an appointment this coming Wednesday at the RSC and for 100 bucks will be fixed.

Should I change it to a "hulk" or a different color?

Kidding.
