Same holds for the Oyster 78360 bracelet which had solid bracelet links vs the previous generation of folded or rivet head links.
Both models had matte dials, red and blue "Pepsi" bezel inserts or black inserts available later during the 1970s.
As far as value goes, nice examples are in the mid-teens or higher - in U.S. dollars. Based on my experience, collectors gravitate toward both models fairly equally.

This is very interesting. Given the "younger" 16750, it is amazing that the "older" 1675 did not command higher premium. Could this be because there are fewer matte 16750 given the relatively short run than 1675?
