The website was for an article on the Fifty Fathoms and I don’t remember a whole lot about it honestly. But it seemed to be representing them all as legit models.
Really wish I could find the original website.
I’ll keep looking.
My favorite is the one that has the bronze bezel, probably just worn off outer metal but it looks pretty cool to me.

For acrylic bezel inserts I would suggest Odokadolo maybe? Member on here that does amazing acrylic bezels.

I did my own by covering an existing bezel with a layer of epoxy that took a rounded effect as it dried. It turned out well but you would need a good. Are to start with like a painted aluminum dial.
