Which bezel insert on 1665

Can anybody tell me what modern bezel insert would be compatible with my 1665.Is it a normal 16600 or 16610 insert.
I feel like getting one to switch out occasionally,making my SD look newer for a while,I wouldn't want to get rid of the old one.
Thanks for any suggestions.

you need another 1665 insert. The others mentioned won't work.

Your watch is a later 1665 and would have one of the last mk3 (what I call a 3.3) insert.

Right thanks.
I suppose the chances of finding a NOS one are very slim?

quite. There are "service" inserts available that are NOS, but short of that ... it will take a bit of hunting, but nice ones are available.

I am guessing your watch is a 6mil plus. Based on what's on it today, you want to look for the mk3 insert with the 4 pressed against the edge.

Happy hunting!

cheers,
Steve
