gorgeous Gilt, stunning dial, congrats. And these faded grapefruit/brick inserts are so nice, always remind me a Norman Rockwell poster.

Just to update this very cool trhead with the two last I found for my 1675 (black Serif fat font and faded violet purple) and the last I put on my 1675 (brick/deep blue fat font) but that sat in my drawer for two years.

Please keep 'em comin, fat font inserts are so nice, they just drive me crazy.
