Vintage 1960's Rolex GMT 1675 Gilt Era Fat Font Blue/Faded Fuchsia Bezel Insert

Description

This genuine and original vintage 1960's Rolex GMT 1675 gilt era fat font blue and faded fuchsia bezel insert has lived a full life, with oodles of character to show for it.  With the exception of
some lighter fade spots the back
remains predominantly a vibrant neon fuchsia hue.  While
significantly worn
this insert is free of defects and 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.  While an insert should fit snug into a bezel, often times an adhesive is needed to keep it securely in place.
