this is the best insert for Batman. But you have to paint numbers with Platinum Mod

I think this is the same insert at a much lower price

I bought this when mentioned a couple of days back. It arrived today.

Need to figure out how to remove the old one & add this to my Noob. Help!

Please post pics when you can. I'm under the impression that the color is Ok, but the engravings seem a bit too thin

I’d agree with that. I’m torn as to swap (with all the hassle that will bring) or just leave it as it is.

The second photo here is with new eBay insert laying on top of the Noob v8 (not installed, just placed on top of).

Is it easy to swap? Is there any tutorial anywhere on how to do that?

What I found for gens is this, don't know if thats the same on a noob:

 

[TYL88]

The blue color on the ebay ones is definitely better dont u think? Its darker than the noob. Use swiss knife or bezel knife to open the bezel. And remember to apply masking tape on the case in case u scratch it.

I just bought this insert. Markers are a little skinny but the blue color is correct and the serif on the 1's the closest to gen I've seen. No lines on the transitions. So, I guess skinny and pretty wins over fat and ugly, lol.

but i noticed something. the blue and black on the 9 o'clock marker is not aligned to the 3 o'clock marker. What do u guys think?

The transitions look properly placed to me, they should be about dead center in the insert 6 and about 20% into the 8 of the insert 18.
