He probably meant to say insert iso dial.

Thanks for the help MO. You are correct - I meant the insert not the dial. This wouldn't be the first time that I responded with "dial" instead of insert, and it probably won't be the last.

It has already been called bleached and aftermarket in a few of the posts.

Conclusions
In conclusion.....
Most people think it is not a fuchsia. Most people think it is original Rolex and not an aftermarket insert. A few think its early 80's possibly 16750. Several think its bleached. 1 thought it should be put in the bin but that comment was excluded for obvious reasons. Thanks for all the contributions. S |

Who's this Xeramic guy, does he know his stuff? I'd like his opinion on this insert please.
Currently 50% on here think aftermarket 50% original. |

George, spend some time on the net and do some research on your own. Here is a thread on GMT inserts to get you started and a couple photos to help you out..

I would recommend you snap pictures of the entire insert, front and back. |

TBH I'm beginning to think this is the same insert I have on the FS section (link for the sake of shameless self promotion https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=874824) There is no doubt however that it has been chemically altered
Not the same one obviously, the same type !! |

Would love something a little more conclusive than that. Weve got respected members claiming its authentic, and respected members claiming its aftermarket. Its frustrating, and concerning, that this is still not an exact science.

The original question is about correctness of a fuchsia insert on a Mk2. I think these should not have fuchsia inserts and would expect to see a fatter font insert with blue and red coloring.

OP's and my insert side by side. My insert came with a 1675 I bought from an impeccable source some 15 years ago. I have never had cause to question it's authenticity. I would suggest that the OP's insert is authentic but has been chemically altered. Thoughts from aftermarket camp?

I dont know David, I see slight differences between yours and his. I agree with yours being genuine. If there are clear macros Im sure we can all agree on what his is. |

As Swaini said, sharp macros of each digit would help a lot picking a side !
Not up to date with all aftermarket inserts versions but don’t remember having seen this one before…
