The datewheel is a later service 16610 and suppose to be a silver or off white open 6 and 9...
And of course I don't see the oyster bracelet, did it come with it? Does the date code match and is the end links 593 a flat top 3?
What did you pay? Just curious...

Thanks man, what i was after was a clean looking case, nice patina on the dial and lumes and a trusted seller- So i'm happy with it- Not real worried about the insert thing, it does look a little vintage doesn't look brand new so it matches the watch fine
