Authenticate 1675 fat font insert

I recently purchased this insert on ebay and from everything I can tell is legitimate and genuine. However I have no idea if they are faking red back fat font inserts these days and I can’t be too careful with this expensive of a purchase.

Also I’m wondering if this insert is appropriate for a 1972 1675 GMT. I couldn’t find any threads on differences in GMT bezels like exist for 1680 inserts.

Thanks, Mike

All looks good here and is perfect for a 1972 GMT. Here is my 1971 GMT.

Make sure you've got it pushed down on all the way , looks in that pic like its sitting up a little between 12 and 18 ! Might be the angle and the pic but I'd hate to see a "lost my new insert" post ! Beautiful watch BTW!
