You wrote it very well. Inserts may look futile, but like a good piece of Art, the devil is n the details.
And a Vintage Rolex needs its own insert.
If you add the patina to the graphics, a nice and correct insert is not tha futile.
We are two damned souls to wander in the purgatory, before finding the coreect one for our 5508s, Baron and me.
By the way, I love, more and more, the version without baton indexes between zero and fifteen, of the Big Crown. Very pure!
Best, my friend.
