Where does Crownartcustoms get his inserts from?

Good thread - CAC have some stunning inserts but I ordered the BiVintage as a 'spare' for my 9411 GEN, as they are very pricy!

Might try some fading but don't fancy the chemical/bleach... anyone bunged their local tanning salon to leave one in the bed for a week

Picture of your 9411 gen please.

Will do! Every pic I take looks like it was taken with a potato! Have a black and a blue... Lots of patina! Need some aged inserts!

Here is one of CACs newer fuchsia inserts (faded one), the other with the yellow background is a veitnam/ruby insert. Can anyone give us a possible conclusion that these 2 are the same?

 

[Btadl1997]

I will note that CACs insert does seem to have serifs

Not the same, look at the 22

Your right...
I've had no luck finding this mysterious insert supplier that CAC has. Maybe we will never know.

no experience with gets but for subs, IMO you must have a sharp expertise to recognize the CAC from gen from a single photo ....

I think that’s Phong or his son Jensen.

Really need one of these dark blue inserts to try on my snowflakes

This is my one from BV in a Clark bezel, snap fit, with the aged pip. There are some slight 'runs' in the colour but they're barely noticeable and add a bit of patina and will age. Very good value for money, I'd say!

Almost want a darker blue to match my dial
It’s sort of the denim blue I think they call it

That was my problem, so hunted down a NOS Tudor insert for my blue, gen 9411 (didn't want it served by RSC) and the cost made CAC look cheap

Got any pics , got every shade of blue but maybe I’m just anal ,

Rubbish pic but only one on my phone! Rubbish lighting too but gives you an idea how dark it is! Think it's the blue one and not the black one!
