1675 gets its old insert back
Hi Guys,
The person I bought the 1675 from found me its old original insert. I took out the service insert once again and put the legitimate insert back where I feel it belongs. It's super faded and marred, yet I could care less. The watch looks just right now to me. What do you think? The faded and worn dial on my watch looked so unbalanced with that new shiny bright red and blue part. Here are a few pictures I made today. |

Thanks for looking and liking it too. Here are some more shots I made with the bezel in zero'd position. I am practicing with macro shots here -
