PSA to all the other 1675 addicts out there, I’ve been obsessed with the Fat Font Fuchsia 1675 insert for years now and just yesterday found a guy in Florida who has made a handful of his own that look astounding.

His Instagram handle is @customwatch (to get ahold of him), and though the inserts I ordered haven't arrived yet, their quality looks amazing.

I’ll update here with pics once they appear in the mail - but I'm beyond ecstatic. He should still have a few more available :)

(not sponsored, just psyched to have finally found these for less than 6 grand, lol)

When I bought them he offered me a bulk discount, I bought 4 for $900 - well worth it in my opinion :)

$225 a pop on "bulk discount"? Slay's Kissing-40s are $60. Yeah, yeah, colors, but still....

With how much I've been fiending for a Fat Font, Serif, Tiel/Fuchsia 1675 insert - it's a price I happily paid to scratch the itch. You know how this hobby goes...

Fuschia inserts have been particularly hard to find. Tiger Concepts used to make them a while ago, but have long since dried up. Fading red/blue's by hand can yield a similar result, but never seems to quite nail the specific fuschia shade.

Yeah but its a base that he made from scratch. the painting is crisp, but the numbers are not 1 to 1. He said it took him 1 year to make the layout, get it fabricated, and each one is faded differently. this isnt a bleach job - the fading is painted on it seems like, not worn away.

quite expensive but IMO a game changer

Also most importantly - the faded ones still retain gloss. When you bleach an insert, it becomes dull and matte which looks very unnatural.

One of mine arrived too! Here are a few pics of it by my hand-faded Fuschia insert by Tripdog, and then one of it on the 1675... all I can say is wow.
