Looks cool, bro - I've thought of doing the same with mine, but I wore it with the dark/original ff insert for a couple of years, so I'll stick with the faded for now.

here's a pic of mine with the original, dark ff insert:

Today I had some time to "play" with my 1675.
Changed the insert to a black one (I know, it's not period correct, but who cares) and put a golden brown nato on it....


That's the result...

Beautiful 1675 - I prefer the pepsi on it, though. No harm in making a change for a while, and nice NATO colour.
