Anyone have pictures of ...

...a Sub Date with a black dial and a blue bezel insert?

I like the contrast of the LV models. But, I think I'd prefer blue over green.

There's someone out there on TRF with that configuration, which is interesting, but keep in mind that the numerical marks on the blue bezel are yellow, which makes it look strange to some...

I found some “aftermarket” bezels on flea-bay that have silver numerals.

I wouldn’t mind giving one of those a try as long as it’s a snap-in and not a stick-on.

If it just looks awful, I'm only out ~$35.

I kind of like that.

Is that blue insert a factory part?

I think most agree it was from a Tudor, notice the Cartier dial ;)

Yes. Made for the Tiffany double name you see it on. That watch traded for 85K at auction.

Some early watches that were sold by the likes of Tiffany and Cartier were allowed to have the sellers name on the dail.......

very expensive if you find one today.

Very cool.

So, will I be kicked out of the "responsible Rolex wearers club" if I put in an aftermarket insert?
