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

Testing this brown one from Slay

That is a really good catch. Something very hard to notice unless you compare right next to the real one, but has a noticable visual effect on the watch.

Possibly because your particular Gen Insert was printed later with more worn out printing pads, which would result in bigger numbers. No two Gen Fat Font inserts you can find today will look exactly the same - they share characteristics such as Serifs and the overall Font, but they vary greatly in terms of how "fat" the font is. This is true for other inserts as well, e.g. I have a Gen Long-5 insert, which some have called the "fattest long 5 they've seen"

Also a good point slay.

 

Here's the example I was thinking of, from official Tudor website. Numbers are very very fat. Your insert doesn't quite capture the absurd look of this one, though I still love it

Not to go too far off topic, but what is this? Explorer? this watch has no crown 

 

Love the insert though.

That, sir, is the rarest of all Rolex, a chimera of sorts.  Let's see who's first to figure out what it is!

 

 

 

 

[Max72]

Are these still available?

Haha its a 1016 with a fat font submariner bezel and insert simply placed over the top for the photo.

 

[Mr Seamaster]

Lovely inserts! Just clip in perfect in a VN bezel assembly!

[Lukas]

The bezels look fantastic! Are they still available?

[Bozz]

Hallo mate, still available? You have a pm, please let me know. I'd like to buy it.

 

Alternatively, can anyone tell me where I can find them?

[Improved]

Does anyone know if these inserts are still available?
