1675 gilt dial query for the experts

Can I ask you experts:

For a 1.59 serial 1675 GMT with gilt dial (SCG of course), is the serial too late for a gilt dial, or is it still borderline/acceptable?

Wondering if my watch is an all original gilt specimen or if its a matte 1675 case with a gilt dial installed.

Thanks for your input..

personally it wouldn't be something that even began to trouble me , i've seen original owner watches later....

you can always ask this question during transition periods and there will be no correct answer....but honestly, don't let it spoil your enjoyment...

I agree with Jed, I've seen ones that are original all the way up to 1.7mil.

Thanks for the responses guys! That is great to know.

Will post pics later, don't have them on my computer and only on my phone which I have trouble posting. But it has small 24H hand, looks like the above example.
