Fuchsia Insert

Do you think they are over priced? What is the going rate for one in great condition? Haven’t seen too many pop up lately.

I suppose if someone found them unattractive (discreetly raising hand) they’d probably think they were wildly overpriced.

Kind of raising my hand too. Not unattractive, but I wouldn't pay a premium over a regular faded insert for one.

$5000 to $6,000 - the nicer it is, the more it will cost.

50% of the cost and genuine, they are a steal at 5K.

I wonder how many listed for sale are original (not service, not aftermarket) and genuinely Fuchsia? Not manipulated, that is.

Some good reading - https://gmtmaster1675.com/the-bezel/

A fuchsia or a super fat font...there is nothing sweeter on a GMT.

New purchase on the horizon BigBlue1? I don recall you having a Pepsi! Love the fuchsia inserts but the price is ridiculously high. Better to get the whole watch with fuchsia insert from a price standpoint, IMHO. Still fatties and fuchsia both look great on a 1675!

Yes, you are correct as I don’t have a Pepsi. Just was curious of the price as I figured I was right in the ballpark.

Matte dial mark 1 or early mark 2 considered correct for fuchsia insert in my opinion. 2.9 mil serial is mark 2 I suppose
