Which bezel insert?
Swapping my black 16613 to blue (new luminova dial and new hands which are being given super dooper 'all night' lume).
I have an authentic faded blue insert (the gold has faded not the blue) and an aftermarket which is strong gold color. They both fit equally well and are both spotless. (and I can't see any visual difference in the font between the two) Which would you suggest? (and yes, I'm keeping all the original parts) This is a T serial - do inserts fade that quickly?  here's the slightly faded one  and the aftermarket on the right

Switch it up for a change. The aftermarket looks fine, but keep the original stuff.

I am with Larry on this one...I was NOT a fan of the TT Sub Nat - until I saw yours. Really, no lie.
I am not a fan of blue for most things. Blue seems to be a color that fades on many things, cars, clothes etc. etc. |

What I really need to do is buy a case tool and hand puller/press and learn how to do this swap myself...
How hard can it be? (only half joking... )
