Rolex 60's Rare watch collection timepieces for the first Rolex diving watches Submariner 5510, 5508, 5512, 1680 :
A graduated insert with its tritium pip (instead of radium).

DISCOVER THIS INSERT : Rolex MK2 fat font - Long 5

The key tell on this one is the long five feature in the 50 marker. 

It is the interior of the five that is elongated vertically rather than in the MK1 which is square. 

The exception is of course the MK0.5 or MK1.5 which I will expose later.  The fonts are without serifs and fat but not touching in anyway. 

There is a slight bit more breathing room between the fonts but still very fat.  We could imagine this one to have been fixed on the 5512, 5513's through the late 1960 up to early 1970.

It was probably also the model you would have found on the 1680 "Red Subs". 

It still remains a highly desirable insert for all vintage submariners.
