Rolex Inlays - What do I have here?

Hello there,

well...I just came across a convolute of rolex inlays but don't really know what I have here...

Could someone clear me up?

Are these legit?

Thank you!

Show the reverse sides. Look like 1675, Sub is a sapphire 16800,16610 etc. 1675 & perhaps a sapphire 16710. Close up of the 2'S to see if authentic or aftermarket on the gmt inserts.

The space between the 1 and the 8 on “18” seems a little too close. I am no expert though.

Bleached fake inserts - I'm shocked someone would do this!

I've been seeing a lot of people taking pics of bleached aftermarket inserts and then posting them around the forums hoping someone will say they look good so they can try to sell them as real with a note "they've been confirmed on XXX forum"

There are soooo many fake bleached inserts that people are trying to sell as real. Then if you tell them they are aftermarket, they lose their shit and argue...it's sickening.

His bracelet buy posted here from a few months ago wasn’t any better.

Maybe inviting a ban for trolling fake stuff?

Well... I am a member of the german Uhrforum for I don't know how many years...
Collecting Omega Speedmasters and Heuer Autavias for about 10 years. Recently I bought my first and second Rolex... A 16030 and a 16800 matte dial which you can see on my pics...

If i only ask questions about stuff I bought / want to buy being fake or legit it's because that's were I really need the forum.
The inlays I bought for a bit more than 100 bucks in total. Which was a no-brainer for me.
Now I know they are fake - thanks to the forum.

But: definitely I am no troll. I am just a watch collector who is pretty knew to vintage rolex watches. And I don't post to often on all the forums I am a member.
If I post, it's because I really need help. If that is to much asked I am sorry.

I bought and sold lots and lots of watches etc. on omegaforums, uhrforum, etc.
My resume is very good for those deals.


To everyone who was helping: thanks! very much appreciated.

Best,
kelevra
