Icon17 Fat Font insert on my GMT

The other day I was very lucky and came across an NOS black insert for my GMT.

Few snaps below... scroll down to see what the GMT looks like with a Pepsi.

Quite incredible how an insert can completely transform a watch

Beautiful black insert you got there Anders!!!

It's very true how much the insert changes the whole look of a watch. The dial on my 1675 looks more creamy with the black insert on. While I love my pepsi bezel insert I also enjoy putting the black on.

It's really amazing how well a black insert and matt dial go together.
