Unfortunately mine did not look like that. The first one I got awhile bak did, but this last one I got was splotchy. It just must have been defective.

Maybe some day in the future After I see how all your guys
Hold up I will try another one of Spongbob's inserts. But for now I just did the sharpy mod because I needed an insert for my watch and don't want to wait any longer.

We could find out what rolex uses to plate their inserts. I don't have access to my universitie's radio spectrometer anymore, but maybe someone else with a gen insert has?
I once put my Noob V1 in it for fun to see if it really was 316 steel and it was lol

Mine is also a bk. I made a mess of removing the bezel and popped the crystal out. I sent the entire watch head to spongebob. He cleaned the dial, installed the crystal and bezel and returned it to me.

I'm a total noob as well but it went fine for me.

Yeah I think Smoke has a very attractive alternative at a very reasonable price
