Need Help from the Cognoscenti on a 1675 Gmt

[kegsgym]

Hi guys I'm a bit of a lurker on the forum and love all the info you guys share. I usually don't post but find myself in need of some help. I have been offered a vintage Gmt 1675 but am not sure if its been pieced together. I'd like you're guys opinion.
This is what I think I know. Please correct me if needed. It is a 1675 with serial number 10****2 with a tritium gilt dial

with pointy crown guards

Riveted oyster bracelet model 7206




original clasp stamped number code 3 over 69


original end caps one stamped 80 one stamped 82

I believe that all the parts are Rolex parts but I have a couple of concerns after researching the watch.

1. All the 1675's from this serial number range that I could find had a small gmt hand, is the large hand a possibility for this vintage.

2. The bracelet seems correct as a 7206 but should the endcaps have the same number or is it common for two different codes.

3. And is the clasp proper for the bracelet.


So what are your opinions all factory original, original factory replacement parts, or frankensteined.

Thanks in advance
Scott

From my knowledge, it should have the small GMT hand, but one of the endpieces has been replaced. I'm not sure which, but they should match. Someone probably lost it at one point and just replaced it with whatever they had. The hand probably replaced at service. The dial seems right, here is my similar '63 1675 but it's on a 78360.

The dial , case , bezel insert , and pointy crown guards are all correct for this serial, the hands (or certainly red one) have been replaced without doubt as you are right about the small hand. Possibly during an early service It would not have a big hand until 66-67 at earliest.
This serial number puts it at 1964.
Band is 69, so i guess added at a later date. Correct band for that model but a later one. 80's and 82' ends both fit funnily enough and this bracelet came with both 80 and 82 but you have one of each , so probably replaced too.
overall head looks good but depends if the band is wearable or not to ascertain a fair value. i woudl say IMHo head in that condition $4750. Band add upto $1200 depending on condition, prob half that looking at that one;)

The band year is not a problem, correct endpieces are 80.
It should have a smal arrow not the big one.
I'd like to see laughs and pcg

As mentioned the hands have been replaced (again perhaps only the 24 hr, hand?)
