Replacing a 1675 bezel assembly with a 16750 one?
Had a chance to acquire GMT 1675 with full service parts but sadly a very tired looking bezel assembly that still rotates but lacks the original teeth around the edges
Apparently the owner spent about 5k at RSC for the service about 3 years ago - new Midcase, dial/hands and new jubilee bracelet to boot To complete the NOS look, Ive been trying to source a bezel assembly for the 1675 but so far only managed to come across one for the 16750 (Part number B313-16750-6-A1) Its quite a pretty penny so I just wanted to check in with the lot here to confirm whether or not a 16750 bezel assembly with fit a 1675 with a service case (47xx serial)? Happy Holidays all! |

It’s the same bezel as a service part.

GMT 1675 and GMT 16750 bezels and bezel inserts are interchangeable. Interchange them as you please.

Thanks Springer! Will go ahead and purchase the assembly
Turo, the tropic in question is a Wolbrook tropic. It’s nice and supple and not made out of silicone |
