Hi everyone. So I ordered a Rhodium YM a while ago and after owning it for a year I appreciate its position as a not too flashy but still flashier than your standard tool watch.
While I love it, it is still my least loved out of my collection. Have been trying to figure out why this is, and thus have come to the conclusion that the bezel shade is too similar enough to the dial and should be darker.
I ordered a black ceramic insert to see what it might look like with a swap but it just doesn't work. The black insert is way too dark and the fact that the bezel digits are also black really doesn't work aesthetically with the dial.
I came across the picture below and really want to recreate it. I think the darker grey and having the 'face' of the bezel digits polished works very well with the dial.
So.........anyone got any suggestions of how best to mod a bezel insert to achieve this:
