irolexu Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 Just bought this insert and was wondering if it's well.. a true "fat font" insert! Thanks guys!
Seacraft Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 Need better pics of 40 and 50 - possible fake
jackflash Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 Isn't this listed on eBay as "special quality non-original":http://m.ebay.com/itm/Insert-Rolex-Submariner-Faded-Gray-Fat-Font-with-Dot-for-Model-1665-1680-5512-/272408175381?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE
automatico Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 If it is the same one as on eBay...$120 + $20 shipping is a lot for a $12 bezel and a nickel's worth of bleach. Otoh the same guy has one of these inserts in an aftmkt bezel kit for 'only' $350 + $20. Bargains of the week. imho 1
wiesn089 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 Imo the replacement on ebay looks really, really good. They even replicated the serifs on the numbers pretty well. Am I missing something?

irolexu Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Posted October 16, 2016 That's the one on eBay. I was half tipsy and half awake when I bought it and didn't see the special quality but who cares.. it came in and it looks amazing. You guys are about to see something truly amazing here soon on my 1680 project.
