I have 2 GMT Rolex root beer watches, and want to replace the inserts (they're a little too dark, and the numbers aren't big enough compared to gen).
Will clean factory inserts fit? Are they compatible? If not, any other suggestions?
NOTE: I just want to replace the inserts, not the entire bezel.
Thanks for the help!

Nautilus Jumbo 5711
A little help please, this is my first Patek purchase.
The 9 o'clock marker is mis-aligned, date is a little low and left. Is this enough to RL, or is this the best I can expect for this model?
Also, any comments on the bracelet / movement would be appreciated. They look okay to me, but I don't have experience with PP watches.

The bezel alignment and timegraph numbers are my main concern.

Index alignment: Looks good, not perfect but pretty close
Dial Printing: Looks good, slight floating "m"
Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good
Hand Alignment: Looks good
Bezel: Triangle too far off center? Or just the angle of the picture?
Solid End Links (SELs): Are they supposed to curl in that much?
Timegrapher numbers: Should I ask to re-regulate? Is amplitude too low?

I need to replace the movement in my Clean DJ 41mm. Is the VR 3235 movement for sale on AliExpress really a Clean VR, or close enough?
How about the VS 3135 movement. Is it really a VSF movement? That would work too.
Any other purchase options would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here are my latest purchases from Andrew @ Trusty Time:
Clean Factory Sprite / Destro GMT II
GMF Root Beer GMT
Clean Factory 41mm Datejust
I've gotten watches from other TD's, but have settled on Trusty Time; I'm very happy with Andrew's communication, responsiveness, and quick shipping. Looking forward to my next purchases!

Looking at Trusty Time website, he's got a new listing for a Pepsi GMT, C+F (as opposed to Clean Factory). Anyone know anything about this?

GL or RL?
Did the best I could with Hao's toolkit. Markers and Date look out of alignment to me. Your thoughts?
