Remember this sad and sorry tale?

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=182133

Well, determined to create a positive out of a negative, I went on the hunt for a nice fat font insert - preferably with a creamy tritium pearl included - to ensure that my Sub felt suitably loved. Avoiding scammers, I managed to track one down over in France and agreed a good price with the dealer there. The result?

All in all, I'd say that's job done

Well done Tony

. Definitely worth the indignity of the original stumble

Glad you found it and all is well. I know how frustrating that can be when something is damaged and you can't stop looking at it. Fortunately it didn't take long.
