What exactly do you not like about the insert?

For BP price I think it's fine and I wouldn't put much money into the watch.

OK, I noticed that too.
But as @Reaps already said, the watch isn't that bad for the price and I wouldn't invest any more money.
Wear it for a while and if you still like the watch, you can sell it here (at a small loss) and then buy a better representative (at a TD).
I wish you a nice weekend.
ps. The CG would bother me more personally
Thank you you guys are absolutely right just did a repolished oil bath to bracelet and feels way better even the bezelOK, I noticed that too.

Yes, I wouldn't have an issue with that Bezel Insert, they are always controversial in the "Pepsi" colours, but still nice enough watches.
I find they change hue a bit in different lighting, agree with the others, it's nice enough as is and can always upgrade the watch at a later date, but if your like me it will probably take root in your collection

I think your insert is a rep version of a fuchsia insert. Quite pricey if it were gen.

I think if it was a fuchsia insert it would be even more pink.I think your insert is a rep version of a fuchsia insert. Quite pricey if it were gen.
But it could be quite possible that they wanted to clone the fuchsia.

Like many less expensive reps, the BP GMT inserts are not gen-spec in diameter so take heed when looking for a suitable replacement.
Gen
~30.6mm x ~37.65mm
Many reps
~30.6mm x ~37.5mm
A gen-spec insert will not fit into many rep bezels without sanding down the outer perimeter which can eat into the numbers or cause the numbers to be off center high.
There are plenty of acceptable aftermarket inserts made with the smaller rep OD - just pay attention to the dimensions.
