Vintage Rolex GMT 1675 Gilt Era Fat Font Yale Blue/Faded Salmon Bezel Insert

Description: This seldom seen vintage early 1960's genuine and original Rolex GMT 1675 gilt era fat font Yale blue and faded salmon bezel insert shows significant wear and chipping. Although it snapped into the previous owner's bezel without issue given the chipping and edge wear it may need an adhesive to be securely mounted into a different bezel. It is free of bending. Vintage inserts are fragile. Regardless of how good you think you may be at popping out and snapping in inserts, I've seen countless vintage inserts cracked and chipped at the hands of even the most skilled watchmakers. Even NOS vintage inserts can have unseen integrity issues given storage, handling and environmental conditions over several decades. While not foul proof, it's always advisable to have a skilled watchmaker handle the removal and placement of your vintage insert to lower the probability of something going wrong. Additionally, inserts and bezels that weren't born together likely won't fit together seamlessly given decades of wear to each. As such it should be anticipated that some form of manipulation will be needed to get this insert properly seated. And while an insert should fit snug into a bezel, often times adhesive is needed to keep it securely in place.All pictures were taken in natural light and at various angles, so please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this insert. And please kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. Expedited and insured shipping along with signature confirmation will be included. Thanks for looking!
