Inserts! 1675 & 1680

I own a few vintage watches, and two rollies (just kidding) Rolex’s, purchased from HQ Milton over the last 6-7 years, a 1680 and 1675.

What I love most about both of these watches, is the condition I bought them in - not great at the time, but that’s kinda what I was looking for. An underpriced version of my ideal watches. The 1680 I got first, and had a super stretched bracelet and replacement insert. The 1675 I got later, also had a replacement insert.

I’ve since upgraded the inserts - curious what you all think of them.

First time posting images - so I may have messed this up :)

Ok - I quit. Tried to post an image. I think I’m either too young or too old to figure out how to post on this forum.

Host them somewhere else (e.g. imgur.com) and paste a BBCode link into the body of the post.

I have a MAC and what I do is open the photo with Preview, either from Download or the Desktop, then go to Tools, Adjust Size, change width to make it less then 200KB, save it, then go to RF's Manage Attachments and Browse to look for the photo, then Upload, end voila', the photo in in the attachement

Hope it helps

I can do it also, but it's true that posting photos is clunky and time-consuming here compared to many other forums, where one can simply drag-and-drop multiple photos. Maybe the barrier to posting saves the forum money on storage, but since photos are such an enjoyable part of a watch forum, I wish it were easier.
