Does this insert look legit?

[JustinK]

It looks authentic to me but the font seems a little different than other red backs I have seen. Does anyone see any issues with it? Thanks in advance!

I am no expert... But I would look at this by springer:

To me might look like the bull nose 4 aftermarket?

Justin , check this thread and more particularly my post on 9/17/16. Your red-back insert looks fine to me based on your photo. It looks like one of the last variations of the red-backs where the openings in the 8s are more round than oval. Most of the aftermarket inserts feel much thinner than genuine inserts - they bend quite easily. Additionally, I have yet to see any aftermarket red-back inserts.

Below are a couple genuine red-back inserts. One is circa 1982/83 on a GMT 16750 and the other photo is a 1979 GMT 16750.

Thanks for clearing that up for all of us springer. Appreciate the correction.

Thanks Springer!

Great post by the way I have referred to it before.
