Could be the white balance used to take the photo. The background is off white too.

I like to keep my favorite inserts secured to bezels. I'd rather swap out the bezel than risk wearing out the insert edges when I want to have a different look on my subs.

Top left is a long 5. Too right is a regular (MKIII) fat font. Bottom right is a "kissing 40" version of a MKIII (some incorrectly call it a MKI) ghost. Bottom right is a very rare version of a MKIII where the cliches wore out so much that even the 50 is kissing.

I should probably not leave out my favorite. A kissing 50 Long 5:

One day I will find a nice red triangle insert for the big crown (it will have to be a lucky GoodWill find). Also, missing is a "skinny 40" which would round out the collection nicely.

Looks good. CGs are a bit chunky however. 2mm lugholes is waaay to big btw. It doesn't accept gen spring bars??

Holes should be 1.25mm

Seriously.  He's really dead this time.  

So many dummies on TZ.  That case is not good.

There were two versions of the 666 glossy dials. The fonts (particularly "ft") are quite different on both. Further, original 666 glossy's were "SWISS -T 25

What you have is a service dial. Again, there were 2 versions of the 16660 dial. One is "SWISS MADE" and the other is "SWISS"

Congrats on the build. And kudos for resourcefulness. The Seiko movements are bullet-proof.

Tonney dial looks quite good.

Yes Ubi. Gen. Just received new insert today to replace the one I've been using:

I use a 6 - watch box from Costco. It does the job.

If you don't like it, you can always return no questions asked.

Costco has watch boxes too.

You could try an ST bezel. It will need polishing first though.

Nice bunk bed.

Are you going to mod the MBW to be a PCG?

Looks great. Is that a CWP T19 plexi?

Yup. Not a 16800. Unless it's a weird Franken Milsub version with fixed bars.

Plus, the bezel is a 5513/1680 bezel

Great job.

On your next one, try adding material just to the bottom of the lug tips. I don't think adding metal to the top of the lugs is necessary.

Very well done

Is the chapter ring printed? All the other gilt parts look like they are negative relief.

No. No effect on appearance.
