Your pictures are terrible ... you provide no background on where these came from and no specifications. There are lots of online resources to consult. Please do your homework before posting like this.

Some would be willing to sell their mother for these while some will say they're scrap metal. Very subjective.

Well I am a Omega Collector...
I own some Rolex watches but I am not really into details about it.
Details about Fat Font yes/no, redback, blueback Black back,... I was somewhat able to figure out...
but I couldn‘t really tell differences between fat font, ultra fat font,... 😀
Rolex collectors seem to be a bit crazy.

I own a new date and an old 16800 matte dial. So I could try to get them on the 16800 if they also fit the16710 or 16700... if it’s for the 1675 they won’t fit - that’s what I also found out...

Just tried to get some input here...

So thanks for anybody who is willing to help!
I can provide better pictures tomorrow as I don’t have the bezels with me atm...


Thanks!

The pics are terrible....from the 2nd pic, the bottom right insert is for a Sapphire model, the rest can't be determined.

Thank you, I will provide better pics tomorrow.
Background Story: someone just offered those via craigslist together with some other stuff - I picked them up, I am not at home atm but my camera equipment is... and before I am home I just wanted to have some short feedback about my buy...

Sorry for the bad pics - that’s all I can do atm. Bought them for a 16710... so as Long as one of these will for I am perfectly happy...

Thanks!!!

The GMT inserts look fake to me and have been artificially aged/bleached.

Could you explain your guess?
Thank you!

Not a guess, the fonts are off to my eyes. Just do a side-by-side comparison form stock photos on the net.

The big loopy "2"s are suspect. I also agree that these inserts seem to have been manipulated to make them look "aged"

Hmm I see...
At least the alu box and the 16800 inlays seem legit...
Screw you, craigslist!!! 😁
