GMT Bezel Insert

Thinking about buying this insert off of ebay for my 1675 to give it a different look, seller claims it's authentic, what do you all think?

Impossible to tell from those pics
Ask the seller to send pics of it in a normal setting

I'm not sure if the one in the link above is genuine or not, but the one you ultimately purchased definitely is. I'm theprofiteer on eBay!

Looks very good indeed.
Did you fit it yourself, and is it easy to do?
PS: What bezel did you have originally, and does it get damaged as you remove it?
Sorry all the questions
Thanks
Adam

I had a pepsi on it before. I took it to an AD at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas, they changed the bezel insert and buffed the crystal as it had a few scratches. Charged me $25.
The Wynn AD has the largest collection/selection of Rolexes in the US, the must've had over 200 on hand, off the chain!

The insert in the photo is for a sapphire crystal GMT - 16710, 16760 or 16700. Only sapphire crystal inserts have three rings on the back, like found in the photo of the ebay insert. It is definitely not for the 1675/16750. Will it fit the 1675 - yes, it can be made to fit but is not correct.

Here is a link for GMT bezel inserts. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=439296
