Black works much better for me with the slate dial. Too much going on and too many colours with the rootbeer bezel IMO.

I think the red jewels are a better match for the root beer bezel.

Get both inserts!
That’s the beauty of the 5 digit professional references.

Root beer. The black bezel is easier to find on its own. This way you can buy an insert and change them when you like
