R factory! They do a super job at taking a stab st the bezel.
remember the gen bezel changes color in light as well.
worry more about the pearl and plating.
ill take a pic of gen vs rep if you want.
Apart from pearl it looks pretty close to me. Do you have a link to that R factory? And can this insert or whole bezel be bought separately?
And than showed you noob to compare. To show you that it’s close and telling the difference not next to each other is very hard. So get the noob and be happy.
Well now its clear thank you. But I need only bezels or just inserts. Where can I get it? I will remove plating and plate it with real platinum like R factory does
and put new pearl.
Great! Whats the price? Any link? Cheers

Loco Louie's was indeed the best color rep insert ever made. These are no longer available except as M2M and would be quite rare and expensive as few people would part with them. Louie quit the business without fulfilling many orders, ripping people off as he disappeared.
Currently, the VRF Max is the best color rep insert available. It's green is slightly lighter and more gen-like than Noob, ARF, BP, DJF. It's very hard to pick that color difference up on camera but it's there. The other thing about the VRF is that the markers don't look dull in low light or on an angle. It's the only one I've seen that has that characteristic.
VRF inserts are not available separately that I know of. I have tried several times. I still have a $60 credit from one TD from a year ago after he was unable to source one for me. Ceramic inserts are swappable among bezels, generally speaking. You don't need to buy or replace the whole bezel. In fact, trying to do so can run you into more issues with bezel gasket damage, or crystal retaining ring compatibility.
VRF insert is quite pretty, pleasing to look it. Other rep inserts made me think, "wow that is (... dark, ugly, army green, etc.)"

This is my Noob V7 with LocoLouie inser. I think it looks good but I don’t have a gen to compare it to. AFAIK no rep insert is even close to gen. You just have to be happy with one of the rep inserts out there or spend a smal fortune on a genuine Rolex insert, if you one find one that is.

He actually kept refining that insert. He told me that he made 2.
i was lucky to get his newest inset right before he quit.
he also told me that his goal was to keep refining it till it’s 100% accurate. His next hulk insert would have refined numbers on the insert - color wise but He never made that insert.
I am still pretty happy with my $40 eBay insert.
Some shots in different lighting conditions, all natural - no filters:
That’s actually very good insert!
