That's what I figured. Was hoping you were going to say it was the reddit guy's new insert. Can't wait to see some real life pics of that insert from some RWI members.

If these inserts can pass the UV light test, does that imply they must be one piece of ceramic?

that's normal, he's very slow in replies. Certainly because it's someone based in China (time difference, VPN limitations & language barrier).

Lol well that would explain it! I was going to say, that's one incredible looking bezel.

I'm surprised Rolex already has 3 generations of pepsi ceramic bezel. These haven't even been out that long. Looks more like they don't make consistent batches of red/blue or have to retool the machines to switch between watches and don't reset them perfecting. Kind of strange.Yeah there are pictures online on other forums comparing them. Here are Gen MK1, MK2, MK3 side by side
I have one on the way from him. It's been released from custom today so I should get it soon. Was planning to post a review and a side by side comparison with clean in multiple lighting conditions.

Some of Xing_patrick's bezel got into some people's hands if you are interested in pictures! Mine is still on the way.

Colors look OK. Markers look too thick, but the direct sun can exaggerate this appearance on camera. It may not look that bad to the eye.
That was my thought too. I'd like to see it in less harsh lighting. I'd still take the better colors over better engravings personally but that's my preference!Colors look OK. Markers look too thick, but the direct sun can exaggerate this appearance on camera. It may not look that bad to the eye.
Rolex began to use the thicker font for the MK3 (see #3650 from Immortalchef), before that, the fonts were smaller. Yet, we have seen spectacular pics were the GEN MK3 bezel (with thick font) can look like MK1 (colour wise) in direct sunlight (see #3630/1 from Mark1937) .
Now for this new aftermarket bezel, the font seems to be thicker indeed than GEN MK1 but colours are imo near identical (including UV test) which needs to be praised! This means technically it replicates the dynamic MK3 like #3630 rather than the MK1 only
