One owner, lots of wrist time,except the last 10 years. Spent the first years of its life in the RVN. I love it. New crystal,and MAYBE an insert if I can find a nice faded one.Probably keep this one.Thanks for the compliments fellas!

Try your AD's watchmaker if they have one. Sometimes you get lucky. Fat font inserts are findable but a bit pricey.

Inserts pop up now and then on VRM. Plan to send $300 or so for a nice one.
My 1675 and my 16753 with nice faded FF inserts....bought with patience from trusted sellers from VRM ![]() ![]() ![]() |

My watchmaker actually has a much more faded insert(Almost as faded out as mine) that would be the idea for me.Replacing mine,with the closest thing I can find,just sans holes. Cheers! ![]() |

I understand why Rolex chose to use unicolor bezels, but the bi-color bezels add an extra function. The GMT is a busy watch anyway, might as well go all out
