The dial and hands were untouched, though I know that ABC can color match hands and have seen them do good work in the past with other watches. The tritium dot on my watch was sourced and matched and I think they did a good job at that. In terms of dial color and hands, its just a waiting and searching game. It took me a very long time to find this piece, after they reprofiled the crystal the patina has shown through even better.

I would give Edvi a call at ABC and send him some photos of your 1675. First ask if they have any hands in stock that match your dial. Also check the forum, perhaps someone has some for sale...If not, you could have them match a set. Good luck with your 1675 and feel free to post some pics!!
