Look at the thread I posted above for pics of two bracelets, each with correct clasps. The combination of Jubilee bracelet and Big Crown clasp was not used in gen 16710. Even the first gen 5 digit 16750 had the small crown oysterclasp on its Jubilee bracelet.

The Big Crown is a nice looking clasp, it just was not used on a gen 16710 with Jubilee.

You don't HAVE TO change the clasp. I have one of these just like yours with no intention of changing it. You asked what people think, I was just telling you about that "period correctness" inaccuracy.

Kj020 thanks for the information you gave me ... what do you think of the insert? is so far from the gen?

BP GMT inserts are pretty much the best rep or aftermarket ones you can get for 16710s. Many aftermarket ones have bad looking 2's where the top left curve overhangs the base (called top heavy or hanging 2's).

Two other big tells on most rep or aftermarket Rolex GMT inserts is the double digit number bases are not curved to follow the round insert/bezel curve - most noticeable at 22. And the dots between numerals are both too high and too big.

It's quite difficult to find a better Pepsi aluminum insert than the BP though, as it is not gen-spec size.

BP: 30.6/37.5
Gen: 30.6/37.65 (+/‐ .05)

there are some really nice aftermarket 1675 inserts but those have a much smaller inner diameter due to the plexi crystal.
