That is a CF insert as the above said. Lighting is everything with these inserts. I put the cf next to a noob insert and can make them both look virtually the same in color

Thanks for this comparison.

It's also very telling how brown the 'ROUGE' half of the insert on the Noob appears compared to the CF.

As for the varying qualities between the two, at the end of the day, I still say CF represents the best value and a definite improvement over the Noob.

Thanks for doing the comparison. At wrist distance, the center portion of the SEL (which Noob has done perfectly) is more visible than the slightly raised edges of the SEL. So I would still take the Noob. I know we are nitpicking here, so I guess we live with whatever our eyes agree with :thumbsup:

The slight raised SEL just looks like gen fit with a spring bar that’s taken some wear. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it

Not even remotely close to genuine colours. Keep this one under your sleeve.

Each to his own. Let those who are happy with their watches enjoy this hobby, whatever the models are and however they may appear to others. I own 2 gens of the 41mm Pepsi but I still get a lot of kicks from owning the CF.

This is supposed to be fun.

I don’t think there’s such thing as a 41mm Pepsi

Impressing other people is the furthest thing from my mind and the wrong reason to wear reps to begin with.
From 3 feet away it looks mint, if a considerably better insert comes along I'll swap it. People stress waayyy too much about getting called out.

Here's gen, you may be overthinking it.
