What an artificially baked bezel insert looks like
Not my listing (and no knock to the seller as they’re being transparent about it) but I just thought I’d share what an artificially baked bezel insert might look like. From what I can tell, the fading seems more evenly applied across the markings and the bezel insert itself but would love to hear from those with far more knowledge about this topic. |

If that's what it looks like, I think I'll pass!
I've never really understood the desire to artificially patina anything, but that one doesn't look good at all.

Looks like sh*t. I've seen sun-lightened bezels and they look nothing like this.
