Is this the correct insert for this 1680 RED Mk 5?

Hello Guys,

You helped me a lot in another thread with my purchase of and 1675 Mk1.
Thank you a lot for that!

Now this question if regarding my older 1680 red. A few guys told me that the insert does not match this watch, so I wonder if in could get an second opinion from you guys.
Please take a look at these attach pictures and let me know your thoughts!

If you want me to post some more pictures, let me know!


all the Best,
Seb

I realize it's just semantics, but yes, that is a "correct" insert for your Sub. It just happens to be a service insert, not one that would have been originally installed at the factory by Rolex when the watch was new.
