Meh, it's not even a blip on my radar bro. I've turned down the screen intensity on my radar the longer I am in this hobby. I have a dozen or more other projects in work so too busy to notice!

Seriously considering making the swap. I know KJ2020 says no. It’s a beautiful watch by Micasol. Runs smooth and true. I’d definitely buy a panda from him. If I did make the swap... what do you think of the dial and insert?

Honestly I wouldn’t use either. That Noob panda dial isn’t the best v2 (coronet, red Daytona print, sundial width, etc. ) and you can get better v3 dials. But if you’re going to the effort, get an ARF dial. They are SOOOO much better in every way. Get a Clean Bezel as well. They’re not that expensive.

Are you talking about using the dial and bezel in those pics with the watch in that pic? If so, the precious metal case is a completely different shape than the SS case. Apologies if you already knew, maybe some others don't. PM case on the bottom.

I would mix and match parts to suit me, I'm crazy that way. Others likely would not.

Have to agree with this assessment. Besides inferior dial print, your insert has wrong “R” font. As KJ mentioned, WG and SS case shapes are different too.

But looking at the bright side, none of these “flaws” will be visible on wrist from the normal viewing angle. Personally, I would rather have a watch that makes me happy rather than what others notice.
