So there's basically the early big and small crown inserts, maybe 4 or 5 different types (red triangle, no hashmark, etc.)
 
Next would be the Long 5 (I love these but they seem awfully rare)
 
Then the MKIII fat or slim
 
Then the MKIIII one like you posted above with the more compressed numbers.
 
And there's also a later "service insert" where the numbers are really thin..
 
Is that a pretty accurate rundown of all aluminum sub inserts?

Basically yeah...

Red triangle inserts usually configured as mkIII (varying fatness, unsure if also tall 5)
-not pictured-

Mk2 - Tall 5 (can have varying degrees of fatness)


Mk3 - ”The standard” also present as Tudor Blue (available as very fat)



Mk3.5 - The one above, mix between mk3 and mk4 (not fat)


Mk4 - Flat 4 (not fat)


Service inserts (really skinny)

lol thanks, definitely needed a translation there.
 
They all look nice. I wish these weren't so expensive because the rep ones suck by comparison. Hopefully [mention=489]slay[/mention] will release a nice MKIII next 

Remember there is no mk1 mk2 mk3 etc. mk1 is a fat mk3 (most often) or mk3.

In short... that black one is an alternative mk 3. Lets call it pointy 4 or mk3.5.

So here goes after taking the best photos I can what I believe are from L-R : MK1, MK1, MK3, MK2 Long 5, MK3, MK3 from 10-50

The blue is definitely a mk 3:

 

 

However the black might be a mk4 (however it's not "flat" enough...). I need to do some more double-checking on that one.

Almost all of Rubys shown dials have sloppy lume application. Real shame...

In the next batch.. I recommend making the numbers about 15-20% larger, then it's perfect. Compared it to my gen mk1.

The GMT has higher tubes on the second hand and similar stuff. Do not expect a straight fit height-wise.

Dial and bezel from the bay? Was watching them too, they were priced well! But another project has to go first. So far I'll have to do with the 3135.
Maloja is a good guy. 

 

What bothers me a bit is the crystal, not sure if they've upgraded it with the last release. 
But the best ceramic seadweller for sure. Proportions are way better. 

 

Should be an easy build, good luck. 

Only thing is the SELs are 116610- and not 116600-type.

I can live with that, since I prefer recessed/shorter ones, but YMMV.

It looks great!

 

The 116600/126600 is much finer/no grain in the texture, which I think is basically impossible to achieve with varnish/paint, but better than rep dial... Definitely!

Gen dial, hands, crown/tube, datedisc, crystal.

Those are factory prices with about 50% added costs by my source.

The prices people are paying 340 USD for a hand set is ridiculous. Like i've said for years, people are getting ripped off bigtime by the so call "market prices".

I think you're confusing 116600 and 116660 (Deepsea)?

Thank you all so much for your well wishes! Here's an update as of 2/14 (because Valentines = Heart Day so why not) I prepared for friends and family:

I've seen plenty of EF's in mid-20's (usually due to atrial fibrillation) rehabilitate themselves back to their habitual state. The body has an amazing tendency to heal "correctly" the younger we are. Your "low" age and confounding "good" factors (family, friends, accquiantces {never tried spelling that word before}) are good. Especially your POV, thus I admire your last paragraph.

Everyone is "always" healthy until they get sick. (NO [censored] Sherlock). What I mean is that few are prepared for the first big disease/episode, no matter it being stroke, accident, heart attack or breast cancer.

They all had 100% perceived health before. You can take their true health with a grain of salt. But always 100%.

The question is always how strong-minded is the individual after. Your heart is exhausted. But it's hasn't scar-healed as in a heart attack. You would have died before that being possible... it stinks, or wait.. Does it?

There's so much positive in your prognosis compared to the classic outcome of acute heart failure (aka myocardial infarction). Yeah your lowest health might be objectively lower, but it's temporary. I remember one guy we had to operate who was at like 10-something and put an aortctic balloon to help his heart out a couple of weeks. Even he was back at >55% EF (which is regular Joe, normal values) 6 months later.

Ask yourself. What is your perceived health?
