Interesting mod I'm thinking of changing my SKX007 insert to a luminous insert.

Heck in person they look black to me also. Until I put it against something else that black. Crazy how dark it is.

I was aware that the SKX009 was a blue/red bezel, but it was just that the photo above looked so black/red I thought maybe this bezel was already modded.
Anyway its a lot lighter blue with the new bezel insert.
