Given this I find it shocking what the blueberry insert changes hands for.

In the early 2000s I bought out a Rolex watchmakers lot and there was lots of all blue a few all red and all browns all with dimple in the back. IMHO non of these every came on a Rolex from the factory nor were they military blueberry and all the other made up stories etc. My only conclusion is that the bezel manufactures themselves made them along with the normal ones we see either to show as samples of what they can do (prototype) or by error ,mistake etc. There has never been a part number associated with any of these odd colored inserts that i know of.
