Excellent thread, there's some fantastic watches here!
Here's the other love of my life. She's never seen a RSC, I bought a replacement bezel & insert and a 93150 bracelet for daily wear. (Retained the originals of course!)

Thanks Fellas

Gear - Canon 5D MK3, shot at F5.6/105mm/1/10 with a 24-105mm lens. Its not a macro lens, but I do have one (100mm F2.8) that I will try at some point.

I know .. I asked for it! The original bezel was a bit loose and didn't want to lose it or risk any further damage to the insert by removing it. But I've since learnt that bezels can be tightened. At least I still I have it ... and it seems to have your approval!

Tightening works! Had it done on 5512 and 1665, no problems.

It's nice to have options, you can swap back and forth

My most recent addition is this 5513 (I didn't replace the insert or make the lume dots dirty myself!) IMO the minute hand is a replacement, maybe the original was damaged and chafed the markers...?
