Thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it. I was going to add more images in the first post but I couldn’t add it.
To me it does look oval I have found a few examples on Chrono24 from similar era that don’t have fat fonts. It seems the fatter the font is the more oval the 8 gets. Could it be that in the golden era of watchmaking, Rolex was a bit more chaotic than it is now?
Some models from the 60’s have very similar inserts. Also another thing that the scratches on the crystal match exactly the scratches on the insert on the right. If the insert was replaced in the 80’s surely they would have swapped the acrylic also? And it would have a service insert right? I also Attach an image to compere 80’s service vs mine.
