looks like a current 5513/1680/1665 service insert (and around £50 if you just dropped it by Rolex St. James to replace for you) :S
I recently inherited my grandfathers DRSD, and after a service with Steven Hale all is now running smoothly.
The watch however did not have a bezel or insert when I acquired it, so I have been using chrono24 to eye up the pieces as I would be scared to send anything to Rolex for fear of them refurbing the entire thing!
The bezel, and insert I ordered separately, at about £500 a piece. Today, I received the insert, and from a combination of reviews, and the '40' connected I'm a little suspicious, perhaps unnecessarily, but I'm not an expert!
Does this insert looks genuine? Any way to confirm?
Thanks in advance!

Also bonus picture of my DR below, which to be honest to me looks amazing without a bezel..!

If it had been period correct for a DRSD then £500 would have been a bargain, unfortunately it isn’t so it’s not.

Understood. So, genuine, yes, rip-off, yes..!
Correct to the others, I paid £500 a piece. I can pop over to St James tomorrow and see if I can get what I need from there, my aim was just to bring it back to it's former glory as best as possible, rather than sticking newer pieces on it as if that were the case, I think I'll wear it without..
The bezel should arrive tomorrow as well, so I'll update once I've taken a trip to Rolex.
Thanks for the help guys.
So you can basically walk in RSJ and they will fit a new bezel insert for a good price or do you have to have it sent away for weeks?

Sorry but,
For me it’s fake (a kissing four thin font)?

Yes - however I doubt think they will fit parts you supply, they will supply and fit a new insert for you.

If you buy a new insert they will fit it in about 10 mins no issue.
Rolex are also very good at respecting "do not polish/refurb" requests.
