Thank you

It all depends what you want I guess.

JustinK · 8 October 2014, 08:16 AM

It has nice patina and matching hands but the case is well polished and the insert is a replacement. Depends on price.

+1.

clock · 8 October 2014, 08:22 AM

I chose this one.

jdmi32 · 8 October 2014, 08:28 AM

Would like to see more pics, esp of the crown guards. As stated earlier, patina is very nice and the hands don't have signs of corrosion as is often found on this reference.

Im Lauf der Zeit · 8 October 2014, 09:11 AM

It will look better with a period insert. But the polish is the polish.

I will post more pics.
What causes the hands to corrode on the 1675 vs 16750?

clock · 8 October 2014, 09:39 AM

I meant more corrosion on the 16750 hands.

clock · 9 October 2014, 02:06 AM

more pics.
Both dial and case period correct and I'm liking the patina. Quick set is a plus.

clock · 9 October 2014, 02:08 AM

Bezel looks original?

Can someone post a pic of the period correct insert? Thanks

springer · 9 October 2014, 02:51 AM

The dial appears to be a very nice Lemrich dial which was used on the early 16750s - up until somewhere in the 7XXXXXX range. Personally, I would not consider it correct for an 8XXXXXX range.

Case looks great from what I can see, tough crowd.

nice acquisition brother, congrats.

JustinK · 9 October 2014, 09:24 AM

With the updated pictures I have to agree the case is much better than I thought.

Congrats on a nice watch! The 16750 is one of my favorites.

Yep, case is fine imo, not over polished at all.

I appreciate the feedback.

Maybe just me but the lugs on the top of the photo look thinner ( significantly) than the ones on the bottom.
In any case its a nice piece!
