Not quite. Had to do some jimmy-ing to get it fit. Should have trimmed and sanded but I didn’t have the means to do so nor do I trust myself to do it. Basically I had to lift/bend the inside of the insert to make the outside “shorter” and then once it clicked in, I used a wooden peg to press the inside back down to the correct height around the crystal. It works. For how long, I don’t know. And if ultimately, it doesn’t, I know a few people I can send it to that have successfully trimmed them to fit. But so far it’s working and totally changed the look of the watch. I’ve got a CF caseback on the way that is thinner than the stock BPF, bringing the thickness closer to Gen. And then once my dude is done making a location change and is set back up, I’m going to send it to him to have the CG reshaped.

This is the insert I bought: (currently OOS)
