Thanks! That is my 16710 so hands/dial is all original...the insert is my 4th (have the coke/pepsi/black of course) that I throw on for fun. Authentic insert but artificially aged.

The faded gmt insert is unique as each of them aged differently and gives different look.

I was about to say, I've never come across a 16710 faded like that

How did you artificially fade that one?

I didn’t fade it myself, got it via eBay.
