The 1675/8 was available alongside the steel 1675 around the same timeframe from early 60s till about 1979 when the 16758 replaced it. Earlier examples tend to be on the oyster bracelet and later could have either oyster or jubilee. I have a couple of 1675/8 nipple dial pieces and a 16758 which I really like although rarely wear these days to be honest. If left unworn they tend to develop a reddish / brown patina which is the oxidation of some of the non gold alloy metals (copper?). This gives it a warmer rose look than newer pieces.
