That sounds like the culprit mate, Cape cod can take Ar off too can't it? That sounds like a bloody good idea with the insert, I keep seeing different pics of the bezel around the forums, some seem gen like in that they look grey and 'sealed' if that's the right adjective! Whilst some appear to be black and have a very dry texture/look to them, would be good to see if we could source a couple from td's to compare the finish too, I'll gladly chip in for one if we need to, I'm desperate to order one of these
