Forgot to mention, the case isn't as 'soft' as it appeared in the pictures.

Still a terrible idea unless you have a correct dial and a correct hand set. Sorry.

Continue the hunt.
Yep, If your budget is at 8k or so you should be looking at a nice white dial example. It will also work better as a daily imho.

Hi Jason, I guess I'm kind of wondering what your goal is here? Do you really want a PCG case as your number 1 priority? If so then this could be a winner for the price. Since you already have a lovely matte dial 16750 that looks very much like any white printing 1675, what else are you looking for, and what are you looking to spend? If you hope to turn this into a gilt dial 1675, I think the consensus is to pass and look for another example. Just be aware that currently a correct gilt, PCG 1675 will most likely cost over $25k.

Sky i think you're right. To turn this into a project of a clean el cornino could take time and may not happen if i can't find the 'correct' parts. I think I'll pass this time and wait until i have the 25k budget and hunt for the proper one with less story. Thanks for all your inputs so i may rest now
