My "new" faded black 16710 insert

A very unquie black faded insert that I bought from a TRF friend. It has a grey/blue color to it. As many have discussed, the cool thing about these 5 digit GMTs is you can change up the look numerous ways. I'm feeling this look right now.

100% natural. It came from my stash. Jeff picked it up from me then passed it on.

Note: I don't have any GMT inserts for sale at this time so please don't ask.

Very cool. And did you get the insert from the original owner who put all the work in making this such a beautiful insert?
