New Insert on a 16713 TT GMT Master II
I recently purchased an Original 16718 insert for my 16713 from David Cote here on the forum. Received, and installed it today. The Insert was still packed in the Original Rolex Packaging, and looks amazing. David was wonderful to work with, and shipped the insert overnight as promised. He even gave me a nice little discount on the item. He went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions were answered. Great seller for sure.
Here are a few pictures. The original insert was badly faded to the point that my watchmaker thought it may have been an insert from a SS watch. The pictures do not give the insert justice. The font is a very vibrant gold color. The numbers are not near as yellow in person. Pictures were taken with my Galaxy 2, not the best camera phone by any means.    Thanks!

Great job. Looks much better than the old insert! Definitely brought the bezel back to life.

I concur, it makes the watch look brand new. The TT has really grown on me, and yours looks great.
