Icon5 1675 Insert ID

Hey guys,

Quick question for the knowledge gurus here. Picked this insert up for my 1675 around 6 years ago and rarely use it. Guy I met with is looking for a new insert and wanted to purchase it, asked me how much and I didn't really know what to ask. Thought I would get some of your opinions first. Thanks in advance

$200-$300. It's a later 1675 insert, most likely a service insert.

This insert will fit any of the acrylic crystal GMTs - either the 1675 or 16750.

To clarify Morgan's comments and not have anyone confused, blue backs were originally found on the 16750s beginning around 1983/84 or possibly earlier during the 1980s. Prior to the "blues," the backs of the inserts were red. All 1675s had red back inserts. This is a later insert for a plastic crystal GMT 16750 and could also be a service replacement insert. If you find a blue back insert on the 1675 it is a service replacement insert.
