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... |

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. |
