How'd I know this was gonna be an insert? Tho I did think it was gonna be a Long 5 or a Big Crown. Of course, a 6542 bakelite bezel was auctioned for $32,500 in 2014, so I guess VRF is a thrift store in comparison.
Interesting how it faded to a perfect line on the marker at 18 ending exactly where the blue half ends, as opposed to the gradual fading on the marker at 2. Since it is now red, white, and blue shall we call this the USA insert?
