    Will a 5513/1680/1665 insert fit in my Snowflake?

    I've found a rather nice faded grey/blue bezel insert which would look good on my Snowflake, does anyone know please if it will fit? And if it does, is there any reason I shouldn't go for it?

    Thanks,

    No idea, but assuming you'd keep the original it's no-one's business but yours. Looking forward to the answer to this one.

    Yep, they are the same ones...... And interchangable.

    The one on the watch seems to be an aftermarket replacement. It's definitely been swapped, it's got some gauges in it in a few places but no corresponding damage on the bezel itself. In fact the case is in very nice condition, looks like either no one's ever worn it or it's had a good re-finish and not been worn since. It's a bit at odds with the mashed up insert and incorrect crystal (with wonky cyclops).

    I think I'll buy the replacement and if it suits the watch then it can stay. If not, I'll use it until I find a correct insert.

    Thanks for your advice!

    Turns out the seller has sold it to someone else, told him first thing this morning that I'd take it. Ah well, on with the search!

    Something else to keep in mind as you search, your Tudor and the others listed should use an insert with the acrylic "pearl" with no metal surround. When you find a nice slate colored insert with that pearl, you'll have the perfect piece.

    Good luck with the search!
