Wanted to share with my TRF buddies this newly acquired FF insert I installed on my 7016 Snowflake. I've owned a few ghost inserts which are more grey in color but rarely see them naturally fade to this purple color

It took me forever to find one and I paid much more than I ever wanted to for an aluminum insert but I think it looks wonderful and I do not regret the purchase.

Thanks for letting me share guys, let me know your opinions.

Be blessed,
David

It was a bit difficult to capture the true color in a photo so I took many angles for you guys. Looks much more purple in person...lol, enjoy.

Comparison to a regular black insert.

Thanks for looking.

Felix.H · 14 March 2012, 01:43 AM

Looks great,.. Almost similar to my drsd's insert, only with a touch of dark brown colour

Robbyvm · 14 March 2012, 02:09 AM

nice combination David ! The snowflake is beautiful.... i don't know anything about these tudors but is the maker & hand colour patina or like that from origin ?

Yeah Felix the brown insert is hard to come by, my major concern was finding an insert that was period correct which makes it even more difficult to find one. I had a newer ghost insert on this snowflake before and it always bothered me a little.

Very nice watch. The last shot beside the black bezel really makes the purple obvious.

Frogman4me · 14 March 2012, 12:39 PM

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I took a pic with my Iphone and it turned out much better, in terms of getting the purple color to show...lol

BaltimoreBrian · 14 March 2012, 12:58 PM

clay1680 · 14 March 2012, 01:21 PM

Looks fantastic with the dial markers and those hands!

It's not a Pepsi or Coke, it's a purple drank! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_drank
