Rolex BLNR Batman Insert

[Batman10]

Hello...

I have a Noob V10 Batman and the insert is terrible -.-

Where can i buy a better insert ?

Most aftermarket inserts are not great. Problems include poor blue color, poor color transition points, white paint in markers, thin fonts, wrong fonts, shallow marker depth, off center markers, etc. Some more info here on a DIY

There's one here that a member bought and is happy with - it's already silver. I am not affiliated with them or recommending them, just reporting what I have seen.

+1 to what KJ mentioned above. Have purchased a lot of insert in the market (don't ask me why, possibly mid-life crisis)

The 3 aftermarket ones that I like ootb are (in terms of transition/color accuracy, font and ceramic quality):

1 - GMF v3 Insert (1 serif font is not correct but still pretty decent number engraving and paint is a shade of silver)

2 - The watchesparts one that KJ posted above. Numbers are silver painted and has the correct 18/6 transition. But the 6 font is questionable and at certain angles numbers/font look thin (the paint is not uniformly applied on the edges)

3 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(Has the correct font and blue color is very good. But numbers are painted bright white)

I currently have a build going. Still deciding between #1 and #2

If you look carefully, the transition positions of 18/6 are not exact as per gen. No blue should ever get in to the slots of 8, the blue should stop right by the edges of the two slots.

I have this insert and the 18 transition is correct. Blue just touches the 18 edge and doesn't get into the 8.

Congratulations to you getting a good one. How about the fonts? Are they correct? And their engraving are with the correct depth and thickness? It is kinda hard to see clearly from the low resolution at the site.
Mind to post yours to share with us?

The Amazon one is very nice
I am sending it to Usd plating to do the trick

Has anyone taken a look at the D1F insert? The D1F GMT batgirl is on chazingtime site.

Amazon insert isn’t a good choice

Not real black ceramic
