Aftermarket Bezel Insert

Hi TRF,

I came across these pics from jfullm42time's insta page and I think it looks beautiful. I have a Kermit myself and I was thinking of trying out this mod. Been looking around eBay for aftermarket inserts but I would love to get anyone's feedback or opinions on this. (his are prob original but I would love to experiment with aftermarket inserts first.)

Any sellers to recommend? Any experience in using aftermarket inserts? Tips and tricks? Many thanks!

You mean putting a fake insert on a genuine Rolex watch.

I believe it is a violation of the TRF rules to suggest using "aftermarket" junk on a Rolex.

Why are aftermarket inserts frowned upon but aftermarket straps praised?

What’s the difference?.....People can swap on many different straps for a different style but it’s blasphemy to swap inserts?

Don’t worry. There’s a bit of hypocrisy here. Your question is fine.

Nope. Only if it's copyright or trademark infringement. Inserts are fine as long as they're not for sale pretending to be genuine.
