New insert for my gilt 7928.

[Hugop]

Spent a lot of time yesterday fading a new insert for the gilt 7928. The result it is very different. I started with a chocolate brown insert from wso on the bay. I generally liked the look but it was too new. Completely out of place on the Phong case and gilt dial. I am still not sure how much I like the color but it is better with the build than new.
Here are a few pics for your review...

The insert started very chocolate reddish brown and became more of a salmon color as it progressed.

That's quite an interesting colour. I have seen a few vintage sub with similar brown redish faded bezel inserts on the web.
I think a ghost bezel insert would look great on your gilt 7928.

BTW, where did you source the gilt hand sets with the big lollipop second hand if i may ask?
