Merry Xmas All!
Looking for some opinions, comments, on this GMT.
Looking for opinions on dial, hands, insert, and anything else you may have to add.
Case looks pretty sharp in my opinion, lugs are thick, definitely been polished, but still thick.
1968, 1.7mill serial, claims original hands, dial, insert, etc....

Thanks All, happy holidays!

Looks pretty good. Lume is not super attractive color. Insert is in my opinion later. Not a dealbreaker if you like the rest. It is not a collector grade piece but it is more than good to wear and enjoy.

Kind of my initial reaction as well....price was reduced recently under 11k, so a decent price, nice matte gmt, if using it for a wearer, not a collection piece. And I’m never looking at a watch for resell or future worth. In this case just originality of hands, dial. Insert probably not original, who knows, but just looking for an insert that would’ve come from the factory (period/model correct)

I have not looked at as many inserts as others on the forum, but that one looks strange to me, e.g. the serifs on the "1"s. Perhaps it's an aftermarket insert.

The lume is a bit moldy.

1675s never had seriff inserts.

Thank you gentlemen!

Guessing the insert is a blue back. I’ve seen 16750’s with similar serif font.

Yeah...a later insert seems to be the consensus.

I know Mark 1s are more valuable but they usually don’t look as nice to me. Insert not great nor the colors. Nice price though
