Paint surface consist of Tiny Dimples...NOT entirely smooth.

The Gap between "1" n "8" in "18" fonts...
are Slightly WIDER(broader) than the Gap between the fonts of "10/12/14/16"...









MACRO Shots - taken from the BACK of Bezel Insert...
for Sapphire Crystal GMT watches...
with different levels of machine tool grooves.
The PAINT Color on Insert Back is usually in BLACK tone...only.

BUT Please take NOTE of the 4-Tiers Angled Machining Tool Grooves...

At the 4th Tier...there is the distinctive RIDGE...
which is present at the Base of the Bezel Insert...

This is totally different by comparison with the one that fits...
the Early Plastic Crystal GMT Ref 1675/16750...1675/3...16753.













TRF Buddies...please be wary of these Aftermarket ones...
They may look the same...
BUT they are NOT the same Original Rolex...
