Anyone seen these brown 1675 gmt inserts before?
The fat font ones with silver numerals not like the gold ones

They are real but go to the 1675/3 and 1675/8.

I think there is only a small batch made. All the ones I’ve seen were the same font.
I blame it on autoconnect. |

Not sure if you are in the market, but I am following this old bird that is on the bay and has a brown bezel. |

I wonder if these were ever offered to buy in the store already inserted, but my guess would be they were bought through an AD as an after accessory. I like them and how they blend in with certain dials. I’ve been hunting for a insert that is more of an egg plant color.

I agree, the ebay insert offered for sale has the notorious "hooked twos" found on many of the aftermarket GMT inserts.
Here is the link again to the ebay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-GMT-M...e/153110107579

I’ve sent him a link to your article on hooked twos as well. Hopefully he changes the description. |
