Ok jokes on me no problem

I just think if the factories rely on our feedback to fix issues maybe this can get the bezel definitely sorted for this watch that is so desirable.
I am waiting to buy this one as I know some people will want to hold it and look at it up close. (Not with a Lupe or uv light)

It’s just nice to see it as close to gen as possible.

So you have friends who asks to look for your watches under UV light, really? Buy the Noob and just change your friends (they are weird anyways)

PS: The only time I have seen UV light used is do a quick lume check

Awesome, happy for you!! The new Noob 126719 models (Blue dial) have these batch of inserts. I got lucky to get a similar one also

SRH that's awesome. How do the colors compare on your 126719 to the 126710 I sold you last year? I'm wondering if Noob has improved the shade as much as some pics make it seem.

No change in colors, exact same insert to my eyes. Its only that the 18 transition is better now.

Can we put a Noob insert on a VSF sub for shits and giggles?

You can, although it wouldn't make much sense or have any real functional purpose without a GMT hand. There are aftermarket Sub inserts in two colors if you really want that look. I am an insert and dial mix and match fiend and I have discounted both of those notions every time they crossed my mind.

And we still don't know for certain whether the VSF 126610s have the exact same size 38.0mm OD ceramic inserts (and same 29.5mm crystal) that other reps have. I would be very surprised if they don't.

Adding a GMT hand to a model that doesn't normally have one is possible too. But I like to make fantasy creations that at least make sense. Rolex calls the Air King "The Aviator's Watch". A name no watch should have without a GMT hand IMO.
