Looks nice. How is the platinum within the numbers? My eyes have been horrible lately, and very hard to tell on my screen.

As for the "blue" on the insert, I am sure it is very close to the gen in the photo. Nobody is going to call you out saying your blue is off by a shade :)

The numbers on the aftermarket insert are white

My HK supplier
aftermarket bezel vs batman

The only way to get the closer color tone is compare with a Gen watch.
Do not compare the color with internet photo
Its will never match with the actual watch





That looks good. Too bad the markers don't come the right color.

Question
Removed old noob insert

Do I need to glue the new insert?
Or should I push it into place?

You can see the off white marker color you mentioned. Also the more gen-like serif (hook) on the 1's that I noted previously.

Probably the best looking aftermarket Batman insert I've seen. Now if they would just make the markers more silver...

You're welcome bro. Looks quite good. No color transition lines, markers nice and bright. I'd take it any day.

Looks good bro. If that other insert doesn't have speed bumps, it's a good candidate for my spray paint mod!

in this photo it seems that the engravings of the numbers are too thin, moreover in the number 18 the blue should not enter inside the 8!

All the aftermarket inserts hover around the bullseye of the gen, it comes down to being able to like what you see on your wrist.

WSO markers where too thin compared to Gen
Better of with an insert from prawnboy or source a GMF insert
