Proudly presenting my first replica

What is this?
It's lovely...
Thanks! It's a 16800. The insert is gen and I love the color.
How does an insert get to be that color? The watch is gorgeous!
To be honest, I don't know if it got this color naturally by accidentally being exposed to extreme sunlight, or if it was aged on purpose. I know that several people on the gen Rolex forums (where I got this from) age their inserts by simply placing them on the hot stove. Of course the value of the insert is a lot higher if the color change occurred naturally (see the Tropicals), but to me it doesn't matter, I just like the way the color fits with the dial.
Interesting, thanks for the reply. I'm buiding a fantasy Sub to look kind of like a Black Bay Red (except YG) and am looking for a way to make a red insert more maroon colored. My wife will klll me if I mess up our new stove, maybe I should try BBQ'ing one, hehe.
Going for this look
