Great Tudor Sub Guillaume!
My own 1680, which has been with me since new, in 1977, shows its original bezel in grey, with a small hole between 14 and 15 minutes, but I refused to change it.
I very much like these discolored bezels. They give a lot of character to the watch.
May be you can adopt it, till a better gray one arrives.
Cordial regards, Abel.
Would you change it? "choco inside
A good friend of mine offered me a brown sub insert he found in a box of Rolex parts. knowing that it is broken, would you install it in the place of the grey one. Thanks. Guillaume...
No, I wouldn't
But since it looks GREAT... I would hunt down another one with the same or similar color, but in better shape. Simply GORGEOUS Guillaume! BEAUTIFUL 7928! Best regards. René
Thanks René
Thanks René, The problem with this hunt is the price of a brown insert in good condition. Not far away from a 1000 USD. So I'm not sure to go for it. Guillaume
Well, it's logical...
Now that vintage rolex prices have raised so much, but you never know when a cheap and original one can surge, in the meantime, enjoy this one very much, and if I find a nice brown vintage insert not as pricey over here, I promise I'll let you know Best r...

Great specimen, Abel.
Wow, that is a long time companion, and a keeper, too. Great patina, too. Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas! This is truly an old companion...
... with an interesting story behind. I wish I will be able to share it here in a near future. Did I ever said here, that I have a love affair with Rolex and specially for Subs, for almost 50 years now? That´s a lot of time indeed! And it makes me feel a ...
Funny, I was more attracted by the GMT
Since I saw Thomas Magnum sporting his 1675... But as you can see, I also developped some passion for the Subs... When we are nuts... We are. Best, N!icolas
You say it all in a few words Nicolas...
... and I completely agree with you: "When we are nuts... "!! Of course I know GMT´s since long ago. But the incredible pleasure of having it on my wrist, was a fairly recent discovery. So similar in shape contours to the Sub, yet so different in fee...
