Great thread!

I was hoping to chronologically place inserts for 16700/16710 models.

There’s an incredibly helpful post made by 5 digit expert. Link here: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClR2HO4S...RlODBiNWFlZA==
So I will use the Mk designations from this post to discuss below.

I have been picking up a few inserts throughout my collecting journey but not able to place the black insert that is on my U-serial 16700.

It seems to be a fat font but not quite serif bezel, so I am at a loss. Don’t think it is a Mk1 sans serif either. What are you guys’ thoughts? Would be fun to be able to place this guy!
