But, why is there a post and a picture about fake parts on here, anyway? Thought that was expressly forbidden.

They are fake in your and my opinion but to others they are real and it hasn’t been proven to be fake and or authentic, but I sure would conclude that the inserts are fake giving the 0 documentation out there as no one has been able to come forward with any definitive proof.

You miss my point. The ones HE (@CrownArtCustoms) was selling he says aren’t authentic. And sells them as “aftermarket”

Maybe until it’s proven one way or the other these blueberry threads should be banned till there is conclusive evidence of their authenticity. I must admit there was a time when I wanted one as they are unique and are visually striking . Then as time went on and I educated myself I found more questions then answers surrounding their authenticity. Every time one of these blueberry threads pop up they usually bring negative attention, inconclusive evidence or Sometimes get shut down by Peter

I agree. There are many people out there that unfortunately, because they bought at absolutely premium, premium prices, can't afford to accept the generally held opinion that these insert were never on a watch that left Geneva.

Why would you ban healthy discussions on a matter of such importance to vintage collectors? I have found all conversations about these blueberry inserts, present and past, very enlightening and educational. Posts like these help collectors better assess the risk they are taking when considering one of these bezels. Inflated valuations have turned the vintage market into a minefield and it is now more than ever that knowledge and expertise needs to be shared.
