Nice 1675. Looks the part. Hands look the part too, including some minor "rot", proof of authenticity. Bezel is replacement. Nice 5513 and Snowie too. Winning trio of aces there.

To clarify the quoted post, the bezel insert is not a replacement but an aftermarket, non-Rolex insert.

Good luck with the GMT.

It's always been hard for me to figure out aftermarket or original bezels, what are the clues?

X2

Also look at a real one and you will know why in a hurry. I hope the seller disclosed that to you and I would worry more about the watch if not. JMHO.....Best,

Below are examples of a genuine insert and an aftermarket insert. The aftermarket is usually identified by the "hooked" number 2. The top left of the 2's will hook out from the top and not be parallel to the side of the number.

Great info guys, I really didn't care too much if the bezel was aftermarket. I know that's an easy change....I looked at the case the dial and made sure the ref numbers and serial numbers were legit. And of course the movement...

Nice trio, miamiman.


What year is the 5513? Or what's the serial number?
