Colors look good. How flush does the insert sit? The 6 transition looks pretty noticeable in the pic. Is it in person?Arrived and installed on watch.
Fixed on my c+f model (u can see c+f bezel vs xing v4)

No, in person is very well done, tomorrow i ll take pictures about that. Only one thing is not good is the 8 of 18 that is not brighter than other numbers (when light arrives in a specifically angle)

Cannot see any speed bumps. The thing is, platinum over the red part looks a bit brighter than platinum on the blue part. Very small detail that should not be a problem when in natural light. Can't wait to get it installed 
Awesome. MK1 is my favorite variant. Patrick sent me a pic and looked shinier than others I've seen so was excited.
How's the fill coloring in the 6 and (1)8? Any speed bump at the transition?
Nothing to say for the manufacturer, sorry if I don't give a favorable opinion to this insert. The colors are there, but the rest is not for me. I prefer to have a clean insert.

Those of you who don't like it, don't get one you'll be fine. But Xing is definitely waaayy better than Clean. My 2 cts.

I have Xing v3 and v4. I’ll take either over Clean any day. Xing isn’t perfect, but it’s miles ahead of Clean where it’s important to me. YMMV.

This one looks a LOT glossier than some samples posted earlier in the thread.

Definitely looks darker in the blue in that photo. On someone else’s, it reversed shot to shot, so I’m hoping that’s the case. Worst case, platinum paint mod, right?Cannot see any speed bumps.

the way the colors change with the slightest tilt of the wrist on this thread, and every other one here at rwi... makes me wish for a standard lighting setup for the site.

the colors, the finish of the ceramic and the engravings, the platinum. I had gen MK1, and seeing this insert live immediately gave me the feeling of fake. Maybe what I saw was the first or second version.
The CF inserts compared to my gen are really very close, Batman 9/10 while the pepsi unfortunately has wrong colors, but the finish is very close...
My v3 insert always changing colours in the light which is the best thing about it, looks decent in low evening light or sunshine. The gen xtal and polished rehault are vital improvements after bad experience with deep, clean, and prof.
Speedbumps sometimes visible, it’s a bit to thick and covers some of the bezel edge from certain angles. It’s also a bit small so a tiny gap from insert to edge of bezel. Agree this is inferior quality to clean but colours are way better and I’m now happy with it…for now

it’s the original noob inserts, good quality and nice transition but way too brown. Good option if you have brown shoes to match
