I havent updated this thread in quite some time. My ultimate has had some additional upgrades of late. Of note are a gen 93150 bracelet and clasp, a set of gen 585 end links, a full service on the 2784 by Misekped, a new Sternkreuse plexi, a blue faded insert that looks very close to gen and a fresh gen 703 crown. Here are a few updated pics. Enjoy!

The case is a Phong 7021 setup but my movement and dial are 9411 spec. The dial looks so old though I thought it looked more appropriate in the old style case. I just could not bring myself to cut the feet for the older movement.

What a beauty. No expense spared in this build around that gen dial.

The faded dark blue insert matches really well with the dark blue gen dial. Is it Clark blue insert? I can't seem to find it on their eBay store.

Originally I had the Clark on it but when I aged it the color took on a purple cast. The insert you see here is from a JK factory 1680 and was black to begin with. I have bleach aged a few of them and all have became different shades if dark blue! A very happy accident for my snowflake build.

OK. Thanks for the explanation. It is hard to get insert colour right for the various shade of blue dial. I had destroyed quite a few inserts during the ageing process including one expensive gen insert. Ouch.

How do you do this bleach of the insert best way?
