Very nice! Is this a milk or viet case? By any chance, did you measure the outer diameter of the insert? Did it snap to the bezel as it should? Im genuenly interested in knowing the od of the insert and the lip diameter of the bezel where the insert sits!
Thanks a lot...

Thanks man. Milk case, had to shave the OD. Didn't measure but assume it's a gen spec.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I assume the bezel is milk too?.. what im trying or wanting to know, is whats the diffference in tolerances between the diameters i asked for, aka what is the lip supposed to be for a gen bezel to normally snap in place without modifications. My guess is insert should be around 0.06-0.08mm~ larger than bezel lip..

It was a trial and error mission my friend. I'm sure there are several experts here how can chime in. Yes Milk bezel. Sorry I'm not much help. I just wing it and see if it fits the mood
