New SMP bezel insert from Raymond Lee

[supermanx]

I've seen a few posts about replacing the bezel insert on their smp, I recently did a trade with a member on another board and recieved a SMP 007 edition with a couple scratches in the bezel so I ordered my third bezel from Raymond Lee on ebay (First was a lv insert, second was a mid sized smp for my gen). Here are some pics of the new bezel:

Both, RL Bezel installed holding rep:

RL Bezel, much nicer color matches dial and way better pearl photo does not do it justice (but its not perfect):

Rep Bezel, to bright bad pearl, basically sucks:

I don´t think that this insert is a big improvement. The pearl is quite good, but the color is quite wrong.

I bought an insert from RLJ and it looks like this ( RLJ on the left, gen right) :

It´s way too purple and I sent it back for refund which was no problem. I also tried one from the seller "watchology" and that was exactly the same insert. The insert from "x-jewelery" has the wrong font and there was one more seller ( forgot the name ), but the insert has a bad pearl in the pictures, so I decided not to buy it...

I am still searching for a decent insert. Any help is very much appreciated... :roll:
