Sub & Sub C Bezel Inserts

[dannyboy123]

I've just been looking at a few of the better reps out there including BK's stupendous work.

Am I going mad or are the numbers on many rep bezel inserts white rather than the correct bare aluminium you'd see on a gen?

Sub bezel inserts are anodized aluminum, so they should look like bare aluminum. Every insert, gen and rep and aftermarket, I've ever seen has looked fine in this regard.

Sub C bezel inserts are ceramic, with inlaid platinum numbers. They should NOT look like bare aluminum. Rolex PVD's platinum onto the ceramic then polishes it off of the raised surfaces. Totally different.
