I don't think so. It has the every minute mark past the 15 minute point. The only Rolex that I know that does this is the DSSD.

I really don't know, I have no use for it and if it is authentic I would like to sell it to somebody who can use it.

This is the same aftermarket insert that you were asking about back in October..

The answer hasn't changed ..

I do remember asking if it was original to the watch, which I was sure it was not to begin with, I didn't recall if I was told it was aftermarket. But I guess that settles it, thanks Tools.

Yessir. You asked if it was aftermarket...and indeed it is.

I do like having the MilSub look...but it also just looks "off" and a bit too funky.
