This is my 1675, I received from my friend.
The serial number is 5.1x M
But the dial, seems like mark I.
What about this dial, is it true?

omitohud · 17 August 2017, 03:28 AM

That for sure is mark 1.

I blame it on the autoconnect.

lee fowler · 17 August 2017, 03:37 AM

That is indeed a long E dial, can you check the serial number?

springer · 17 August 2017, 05:42 AM

Mark I it is. Much earlier dial, late 1960s era, than your watch.

ahantel · 17 August 2017, 06:33 AM

Agreed, Mark 1 - also wondering if the lume is the earlier variant of the puffier lume seen on the 1.6-1.9 million (versus the 1.9-2.9 million with the waffle looking lume) or a redial (GMT hand lume looks a bit off). Would need better pictures.

Tom1675 · 17 August 2017, 08:58 AM

Did you personally see the serial # or are you going off of the seller's word?

Ttpwatch · 18 August 2017, 06:50 PM

Serial number 5.12 M

offrdmania · 18 August 2017, 11:07 PM

Is it the pic or is the lume at 6 crooked? That would bug me

omitohud · 18 August 2017, 11:49 PM

Well it depends on how anal u r on being original. N to a degree how much u paid for it. If u didn't pay much n can live with it, then it's still a fine looking specimen.

Btw if u r really anal, the insert is later.

I blame it on the autoconnect.

Maybe the dial is correct and the engraving is at fault...

I have to agree it does look a bit dodgy!

Thank you for all opinions.
I think this is the new issue about the engraving of the case.

Ttpwatch · 22 August 2017, 03:05 AM

Maybe not engraved

1675-David · 23 August 2017, 02:23 AM

roh123 · 23 August 2017, 02:42 AM

One would start to wonder why it is re-engraved with a new number. Gives me a bad taste tbh..

Engraving looks off. For comparison this is a true late Mk1
