Good evening boys and girls,

I have been doing a bit of research on this watch, dial and hands look correct to my limited knowledge......but that bezel just looks wrong, something about the 50 mark.
Or is it just a slight variant as it seems a lot of changes were made on this watch series?
Appreciate any input.

 

Are you asking about the bezel, or the insert?

 

Probably not even a Rolex insert. Owner just threw something in there.

 

a fake and not a good one

 

shocking that someone would put one that bad on there! Great dial though!

 

Apart from the terrible insert......what’s the opinions on the dial and hands???

 

Good morning I hope everyone is staying safe, I’m reaching out for a bit of help on an insert for this watch.......opinions on this one please?

 

Doesn’t look correct for a 6536 or a 6536/1

 

Doesn’t look correct for any rolex

 

Agreed that this is not a Rolex Sub insert. What is you goal regarding the insert? If you are looking for the correct insert, it would probably be a red-triangle, and the price would be astronomical, if you can even find one. Or are you just looking for an insert that would be a plausible service part for this watch? In that case, you just want some sort of 60s or 70s fat-font insert, and I'm not sure it really matters which one you use, since it wouldn't be original anyway. Even there, you're probably looking at about $2k USD, but at least they are readily available.

 

Thanks for the help, ideally I would like to get the watch back to period correct condition, but like you say that is going to be very very expensive! I did find one red triangle insert in really good condition but it’s $30k, just an amazing price!!!! To make it wearable I’d agree it’s probably best to fit a plausible service insert. A couple of members have already offered some options. So I think I will just continue the hunt for a red triangle insert at a “reasonable “ price and see if I get lucky!

Some people must think it’s genuine!

 

This is why I couldn’t even consider dipping into vintage territory...eye watering prices.

Year 2000-2011 is my sweet spot for Rolex.
Pre-ceramic and post tritium..

 

Not correct, you could fit a long five on it to be as close as possible without having to spend a huge amount of money.

 

Well, they're wrong.

 

Did you notice that the sale didn't go through, and since then he has resisted it twice, with no bids?

 

Yes I saw that when it was relisted exactly the same description but added the word “aftermarket”!

 

Both inserts are fake, congratulations to the new owner of the ebay listing!!
