Untouched 1675

Want to share this piece with you, because I am so happy that I could get it.
It´s a 1675 untouched, maybe unworn ! Even the links of the bracelet are still stiff...... :-))

Amazing! Interesting that the bezel is faded, the blue part anyway, since the watch is so pristine otherwise.

I love the look of a vintage watch that shows its age and use but man I gotta say that is one of the most beautiful watches I have seen.

Wow, so much pos. feedback in a short time. I am happy you like it so much. Thanks @ all

A friend of mine bought this watch 8 years ago from an older person, who was a watch collector and kept this 1675 in his safe. My friend (I did not know him in these times) sold it to a person who had to promise, that he will offer back him this watch in case that he wants to sell it. This person also kept the watch in his safe and did not wear it. 6 weeks ago this person called my friend and told him that times has come to sell the watch and that he wants to keep his promise. My friend bought it back and offered it to me. He knew that I am big lover of the 1675´s. I did not need a minute to decide to get this watch, because for sure it was the best 1675 I had ever seen....

It came to me as a fullset, incl. original box with 1675 sticker at the side of the box and incl. hangtag with full serial written on it. This 1675 came to me with a black insert, shown on the next pics. I think this black insert was the first and original insert to this watch. It´s not much faded, but the surface is matte. I put the red-blue insert on the watch, because I liked it more, but for sure I will keep the black one with this 1675.

Here we have some more pics, thanks again @ all......

Congratulations that is the best I have seen........all my watches are worn and I have never been a fan of "safe queens" but you will need to think carefully about wearing this example. It should really be in a museum!!

Thank you, David and Woody ! Same here :-))
I love to own it, to feel it in my hands and to take pics with my macro. And I am happy to have a good worn MK I and MK V to wear and to rock it...... :-))
