What if it was laser weld and then redone? Like those performed by Rolliwork?

Jacek has a gorgeous 1675 with Mk2 dial right now.. but it's not cheap

Trade retail to retail. Sounds like that’s not what he’s suggesting.

iMO, the mid casing cut a little too much to try and get that price..

Could be the lighting and poor image...
It doesn't appear so, if you take into the consideration the lug at "2", and also too much pin head revealed...

Not much left here:


Here is the 1675 Jacek has FS and “no pin heads” here! Nice deep dark lug holes...

Thanks for posting and making these analysis. Definitely appears thin indeed.
