Hi please go easy on me as first post and sort of know a little, well anyway here is my dilemma, I got a Sub 16613 from auction, not ebaY had it verified by AD yesterday genuine movement and case, but for some silly reason whoever was the previous owner had replaced the original dial with an aftermarket serti dial but a sea dweller one god knows y not a sub dial and the bracelet is a SS sea dweller bracelet which I can live with for the time being,

but it's missing the bezel, insert and spring etc

Looked everywhere and they are really hard to find just a simple SS bezel with a blue insert and associated springs and all I can find is the aftermarket jive on ebaY which I know you guys really hate and advise against,

so my quest is where can I get original parts from certainly not the AD as the dial throws that out the window, but I'll probably have a genuine sub dial put in, in the near future

Slowly I would like to restore the watch back to original parts and is it a problem if I want it to be SS rather than TT would this be classed as a Frankinwatch

Oh and I'm based in the UK if that makes any difference

Thanks in advance for any pointers great board the way

sorry late reply but yep the guy who had it before god only knows why he replaced is with a aftermarket Sea Dweller serti dial, and it has a SS Sea Dweller bracelet which i can live with, but hasn't even got a bezel hence my post but looks like I was wrong to post cos getting a bit grilled by the sounds of it.

however I understand you must think I'm a bit of a numpty buying it, but I paid a grand total of £400 GBP for it equivalent of $640 USD

Ive had it all verified and the case, and internals and bracelet are genuine just the dial is aftermarket, so no don't think I got owned, in fact I think I got a good deal considering if I wanted a good complete one I'd pay a lot more than what I did, I've located a dial but that's not my priority at the moment its getting the Bezel which is

Hope somebody can help

Thanks in advance
