I don't know if mine can compete, but I think it's an attractive insert. Circa 1971.

Excellent examples! Not sure how the new ceramic GMT fits with the faded bezel idea since I think the idea behind ceramic is that it never fades. Love the fat font on the one immediately above!

Chilly morning up north.

Early gilt style baby blue and orange faded insert. Goes well together with brown.

It was a joke

The 2018 Pepsi is now coming out with a darker insert so the old version looks ‘faded’ by comparison.

That's a good move as I don't like this blue, but Im sure these MK1 purple inserts will be more desirable in the future!
