Has anyone ever seen a MK3 insert that has faded to a grey/blue colour?

More blue than grey. I'd be grateful for any input or even better, pics. Saw the insert on a watch I'm considering and just wondered if it was original to the watch.

I should be able to post some pics in a few days when I go take another look.

Thanks Guys

Here's one. If you see it in the flesh you would definitely say blue before you said grey but very hard to capture in a photo (although the white balance has been set properly with a grey card).

Yep - that's the colour. Great MK1 insert!

AND WOW - what a gorgeous tropical dial - you lucky person you.

That just made my Sunday afternoon - thank you

Here is the insert on my SD. Mk3 and faded to a nice even grey.

Here is mine, it can look grey or blue due to the light

I've had a few mk3's faded to both blue and grey. Mostly from the early to mid 70's.

Perfect - thank you guys. Had not seen the bluish fade before and just wanted to make sure that it was legit. Must say that it looks very cool
