We've all seen the shark but what about..

Okay so thanks to a few awesome TRF members here we've seen some beautiful sharks both date and non date. (I've posted one of BlueXelor's 114060 shark images below). But has anyone put the hulk 116610LV bezel insert on a 114060?! Would love to see. I've seen the black bezel on the hulk but what about the hulk bezel on a black dial?? Or what about a black bezel on a smurf dial?! Anyways just curious what people have done with the new ceramic inserts.

I don't have the pic, but this has been done.

And it's super sharp.

I'm sure someone will post a pic soon

I'll have to assume it looks nice, when I imagine it the result is quite sharp indeed.

I don't think many do it because the cost of a ceramic bezel, and plus finding one can't be easy. Plus they don't just pop off and on like the old metal bezels.

Can't wait to see. I understand the cost is high to do something like this but I really think this might be something I do. Starting with tracking down the 116619 bezel then the 116610LV for the 114060. Fun stuff.

I really really want to see the green ceramic on the non date. The shade of green is awesome.
