help on 1675 from 1967
Hi,
I bought this 1,68 mil 1675. All my friends have an opinion for dial, bracelet etc. As I'm not an expert, can you help me suggesting if all is correct or if not what's wrong? Many thanks, G. |

Dial is MK V and is too late.
Your watch should have a MK I dial (long E) Insert is also a later one. |

I believe the larger GMT arrowhead started in 1968 (I've got a '68 1675). What makes you think yours is 1967? Documents?
Of so that might be a replacement GMT hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I would imagine that the dial and hands were replaced at service along with the insert.

By the way, besides the dial being incorrect for the serial number on this watch, the hands are relumed.

You are correct. 1.68 million should have a 1967 case back, probably 2nd quarter of '68 with a Mark I dial.

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification. My watchmaker said there's a 1967 date of manufacture on the inside of my caseback. But I think it's a 1968 model release based on serial etc. Would that make sense? And yes, mine seems relumed too. Kinda messy? |
