Help validating this 1675

[justawatchguy]

looking to buy my first vintage rolex. Would you be concerned by anything in this photo? I noticed the second hand doesn't match the color of the minute and hour hand.

Do you happen to know the first few digits of the serial number? That will help people authenticate the watch for you. Lume ages differently in different hands, and slight color differences don't bother me. There does appear to be some lume loss in the sweep hand.

Lookin at the lume-structure it should be a 1.9 to 2.1 Mio serial.
Could be a great 1675....need more photos to say more

Not sure how one can tell a serial by looking at the lume on a piece. Can you please let me know what about the lume placed this piece in the serial range 1.9-2.1? I have a 1675 2.1m that looks nothing like this one and safe queen example will likely have even more lume patina...

For this piece the long E dial looks to be in decent/not great shape and would indicate a serial range wider than suggested but you can just look b/t the lugs to get that. The hands appear to have some oil on them, most likely from service, and the date wheel appears to be misaligned so you will need this opened and checked out imho. The bracelet should be a rivet. Looks like a replacement insert too, but I am sure this call will be refuted - should be fat font.

It looks to me like the sweep hand has been relumed because the lume texture looks different from the other hands. And as has been mentioned, there appears to be some lume loss in the sweep hand as well.

The bottom half of the minute hand's lume looks abit weird imo

Nice, clear picture!

What is the serial number and how much?

Here is a picture of my 1675, Radial Dial, Serial Number 5,13X,XXX for comparison.
