1675/3 & 16753 Printed vs. Applied Crown
I have an interest in a '79/'80 16573 (TT, black nipple dial), and need some clarification please.
) When was the transition to printed to applied crown, or visa versa ? ) When was the actual transition to 16753 from 1675/3 ? Thanks for the help !

Hello, the 16753 was introduced around 1979 with the 16750. Earliest serials are probably in the low 6 million range. It contains the 3075 high beat movement with the quickset dare feature. All of these should have the imprinted crown. The 1675/3 was made until the switch to the newer movement and had the applied golden crown until toward the end of production in the late 70s.

I have never seen a quick-set two-tone GMT (16753) with applied coronet. To my knowledge, ALL 16753 have a printed coronet, whether with the earlier nipple-type markers or later disc-type marker. ALL 1675/3 two-tone dials have the applied gold coronet, whether brown, copper or black.

Here is a 5.7m serial, which should make it a 1675 ('78-'79 ?), with a nipple dial and applied crown. I'm not looking for perfection, but a parts correct wearable example. It is here on TRF, and I DO NOT want to dis the seller .....opinions ?
Being green to the vintage side, I really value the comments http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/...l/DSC_0323.jpg
