Hey Johnlia, this is my work, not "paint mod".
Still have no idea why the color become like this, but it is fixable.
I have already contacted Johnny and will arrange some analysis to see what happened on this insert...

Hi SpongeBob. It is very hard to get the Noob's bezel insert and I considering the Parnis bezel inserts in its sub models. Please see these links and let me know if these match right or are far with the gen.

Here is my input after receiving the insert:
I had a green ceramic noob insert V7(v8 as some call the newer versions) .
The stock paint was pretty good on this one. In fact it was so good imo that it almost made no sense upgrading. Noob really did a good job in the latest batches.
But now that i've got the insert back, the improvement is obvious !
However... i think there is a small difference between the gen and mine but i think it's not due to the process Steve makes the vaccum deposition or the material he uses to cover the numbers with.
I think it is more about the ageing of the insert. Now that i've seen it in person i can tell that the color is more silver than the gens i've seen (at least i think it is
).
Don't get me wrong, the insert screams GEN, but to me it feels like it is missing that peachy tint the gen has in some lighting condition.
BUT, good news everyone, the insert that Steve showed earlier in the thread, the one that is 5 months old looks to me exactly like the gen one i've handled. So i guess it will get better with time, like wine)
Amazing work buddy! The watch looks stunning now, i'll post some pics later!

I think its not a stock thing its a supplier thing one supplier is better (better cutouts + whiter paint) other is pretty crap
Look at the "30" some Submariners have it perfect in line others the "0" is slightly raised you can see the same issues at the no date version. I think it's a supplier thing.

Did you send the whole watch to him or just the insert?

Its too much of a risk to send the whole watch. If you cant get the insert out, just send the whole bezel.

Sorry for the shitty pics. Uploaded via rwi app. Don't know why the upload quality is so bad. I'll reupload again later.
