Something is not right. It could be an error in the listing. Pics are always helpful.

should be plastic. but I have seen DJ and even GMT 'updated' with special sapphire crystals which have clearance for the second hand.

I would change back to plastic...

The crystal is not sapphire but acrylic and is correct. Bracelet is a much later 62510 GMT Jubilee bracelet.

F code is for a 1981 bracelet, the 12 would be the 12th month. Your serial number of 2.9 million should have a 1971 or 1972 case back.
