All are original Rolex. Went through quite 4 blue/silver ones before I found an authenticate one I was happy with. I'm pretty certain I took the 1st photo with a real Rolex blue one. The 2nd photo is definitely with a real one.

The first faded black one is the original insert.
The 2nd black is a luminova service insert. I now have a bezel for this one as well.
3rd is a real LV insert which made my heart stop and my pocketbook ache when I paid for it.

The blue is one I got from eBay. Ended up buying 4. ONe aftermarket and 3 real ones before finding a perfect one.

All told with the inserts, extra bezels, coated cyclop crystal, 93250, silver datewheel, extra service hands, and extra matte dial (which was relumed) I put in about an additional $2700 into the original price I paid for the watch....All because I love silver datewheels and matte dials that much more then the modern glossy ones with white gold surrounds. Go figure.
