Amazing pieces guy, thanks for the pictures. I know one can find plenty on the internet. But it's just more fun if you can post pictures of your own watch.

@lee fowler, very nice wich one was original on the watch?

A bit of fade with a bit of “tropical” colour scheme. The type that has the date!

I picked up this faded/ghost bezel for my 16610LV from ebay but have since sold the LV so it'll be up for sale on the same site shortly. Did love the look.

So, this is where all the nice faded inserts have gone.. No wonder you can't find any these days.

Great thread, my contribution.
