Will insert for 16618 fit a Tudor 9411?

Seller claims this is OEM but for a 16613 / 16618; I like the faded look but I'm a bit skeptical about the pearl outline in gold (plus why are the numerals silver vs. gold if it is indeed for a 16613?).

1.) Does it look OEM?
2.) Will it fit a 9411 snowflake?

No, your Tudor is acrylic so you'll want 5513/1680/1665 geometry. Inserts for sapphire crystal cases won't fit.

You might check VRF for listings. eBay is a minefield.

Thank you. So basically anything 5 digit wouldn't fit?

Unfortunately not. The acrylic diver inserts have a smaller OD. Anything from a sapphire model won't click in. I recall that a 5513 insert will fit a 14060 but not the other way around. And, a 14060 insert is too small for a 16800, 168000, 16610, etc.

So how about this one? Listing has it for a Tudor 79090, which is a 5-digit but an acrylic model. Would that fit a 9411? Seller also has it mounted on a 1665 bezel for pictures (2nd pic below)...what your thoughts?

My other worry here is whether the bezel is light enough for my taste.

Thanks in advance!

I personally don't know the 79090 measurements to say for sure. But, the font style looks the same as what you have now so I'm not sure what you'd gain here anyway. You might as well just leave your blue insert out in the FL sun for a few months instead.
