Can anyone tell me if Gen Pelagos bezel can fit on the XF Pelagos. Thinking to replace it as the white markers on the insert of the Rep are a bit more yellowish than the indices on the dial...

I saw those too. but doubting the quality of those chinese $40 replacements. Probably no Ceramic and just panted on?
I have two from aliexpress. Dont know if are the same insert in chrono 24 but I suspect yes.
From aliexpress is real ceramic, and white lume looks good at daylight. Problem is the lume in the night. Is very much darker and blue , not green

Thanks for the information on those! I think the inserts they are selling there might be the ZF ones. I also read those are a bit too dark and the circle on the triangle also looks like the ZF, a bit too large
those from aliexpress are not ZF. I have not time right now, but later I will upload a photo comparison

Here you have. You can see differences in the ceramic and the color of the light. The luminosity in ZF is very similar to XF and Aliexpress sucks in intensity and color. As you can see (depends on your monitor and color calibration) the color of the ceramic is different on the three bezels. I edited the color in photoshop to adjust it to reality as much as I could, and as you can see ZF and ZF are very similar but aliexpress is much more saturated. In sunlight, the color is yellow in XF, nuclear white in ZF, and bright ceramic look in aliexpress. ZF has some kind of varnish on the bezel, I suppose, to protect the light. I discovered it when cleaning it with alcohol that dissolves it, I made the lume spill a little, this does not happen in the ZF and less in the aliexpress one, I suspect that the lime in aliexpress is made of some type of UV paint that is very resistant .

Thanks for the reply! I guess the Alien one will be too storng in color and too dark to match the dial color well. The dial is also, depending on the light condition, matte and between dark grey to black (talking about the black Pelagos.) I´m trying to find a GEN insert. Missed 2 auctions before and now nothing to find.
