My shitty lighting in the house doesn't show the blue Bakelite bezel insert well so have to use the flash. This watch deserves a much better shoot coming soon [emoji13]

Ok, the next step is done.

They are steel blue too. Rolojack has them. He did the case work too. Ex the bezel which came from jmb.
