Also, many other sport models contained the same A30 coding in the style number.
As far as later insert colors go, inserts were easily changed and I have not seen anything significant from many years of ownership that would indicate price variations between the inserts colors. It might might a difference to those anal enough to need a certain color coded on their warranty paper, but to most it does not.

Agree with both these statements.
Bought this last September right in the middle of the price increase for 5900. It originally had a black insert. I sourced both a Pepsi and coke insert for it (250). I sent it la watch weeks and they touched up the case (750). All told I’m into the watch 6900 and have three insert choices.
