Hope these factory always make some progress, than I am willing to pay more for the better rep.
I'd hold off on exploring this too deeply, at least for two tone, because JF is developing one now. They've historically been worse than noob but who knows.

That is the 100 dollar question...

Maybe Angus from Puretime could help you arrange a better deal than retail.

Jebus! I'd go gen before I ever spend 300 on a rep insert. If OP could make this work for something reasonable, I'm sure everyone would do it.

Adding my voice to the crowd of people interested in this... this is a fantastic technical advance in reps. Hope we see a cost soon. :)

Edit: I fully predict a bunch of threads with people asking how to get their bezels/inserts out without cracking... and another bunch of threads with people saying they've cracked their shit anyway. Such is rep life. :)

Edit 2: At 99.999%, it looks like $230/gm, so the other question is how many inserts you can do with one gram...

Haha, i have destroyed at least 10 pcs of inserts for my test, I feel nothing if i break it again!!

About your second input, I shall say this is a very good question, I have no exactly the yield per gram, but I must say that the material loss is extremely high and I believe it is approx. 90-95%. Yield loss is something about the surface size and its shape. Pls remember this insert is a hollow ring. This being said, plating material shall cover whole insert surface (not just index numbers)and even entire hollow area.

i think this sums it all up.
as fabulous as this all sounds, the price is going to be ridiculous per insert with loads of member's broken inserts and mucho nightmares for our brilliant OP who i am sure is not looking to quit his day job to ramp up industrial production of some illegal product.
gen insert is the only easy/cost effective way to scratch this itch boyz.

awesome innovation by the OP though.

Pretty much. It's like a concept car at a car show - proof of what is possible but it wouldn't be commercially viable.

Why are people saying 300 dollars per insert?if that's the price this will not be viable

Presumably Cost per gram adjusted by loss rate. Also, that's just one dude's willingness to pay, not OPs potential cost of labor and goods.

If the price is 300 dollars, I would like to buy a gen insert...

Yes, the price will be less than $300, but the yield loss must be amortized....
