Reply With QuoteThere are lot of fakes around of these, so it would be worth getting them checked out before you think about sell them.
Number 2 looks like a touching 4, which if correct would fit a 1680. 1665 or 5513.
Nice collection if all ok
Having a Sunday sort out of watch parts I’ve owned for years I came across some old inserts. 10 years back I had a couple of 5513s plus a 16610 and a 1665. Watches all gone unfortunately!!! The faded bezel number 6 is I’m fairly sure off my old 5513 but unsure about the rest. The pips are tritium apart from number 1. Any ideas of what’s what?

Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Over the years when I had my watches serviced at St James I always purchased my bezel inserts back. 100% sure all is good. Just can’t remember what belongs to what.Originally Posted by Andyg

You have probably seen these, but useful reading for anyone aspiring to become a vintage nerd.
Number 6 looks like a Mark 3 fat font with serif - shame about the split.
1 2 5 6 are 5513/1680/1665 inserts (all 3 references use the same insert). Slimmer and no white gold surround the pearl. The other two you can hold back to back, if different, one with smaller diameter/thicker metal is for sea-dweller 16660 16600, otherwise both are 16610 / 16800 inserts.
Inserts are an absolute minefield so well worth getting them checked out by someone more in the know.
From my limited knowledge, I believe that 1 & 2 are thin font service replacements for the 1680 / 5513, 3 & 4 are 16610 / 16800 inserts, not entirely sure about 5 (possibly a thinner font MK3) and 6 is definitely a MK3 insert for the 1680 / 5513. Shame about the split as is a desireable insert.
Hope this helps?
I remember splitting it years ago trying to pop it back on. At the time I thought o well. Now the prices are crazy I could cry!
Thank you for your knowledge that’s a great help.
