Submariner 1680 RED inserts...

Hi guys hope you are all well...

I just wanted to ask with regards to inserts for the 1680 REDS, what type of inserts actually fit on this watch? Do the Tudor Submariner and Sea Dweller inserts fit? Also what variant is date correct for a 1969/70 RED??

I am on the look out for a nice FAT FONT faded insert for an incoming RED and wanted to know what type can fit on it and also where I can locate such an insert...

Any advise would be most welcome.

Andy.

For your watch ...

Anything you see tagged as .... 5512 .... 5513 .... 1680 .... 1665 .... 7928 .... 7016 can be fitted .

There will be a variant of insert that is completely correct for your watch but those I've listed will fit the bezel
