Hi all,

Ever since I tried on a 1675 I've always wanted to own one

I wanted one I could wear everyday and enjoy I wasn't interested in one with box and papers or one which had been interfered with and one which didn't cost the earth . I wanted one which looked honest to me.

All the ones I looked at had either been worked on to make them look perfect or asking crazy amounts for one.

Fast forward a few days ago I saw this 16750 advertised on chrono 24 about 140 miles away at a reasonable price but the pictures were rubbish.

Set off this morning at 6am for the 2/12 hour drive.

Soon as i saw it I knew I had to have it wasn't cheap but at the same time wasn't expensive.

Story the shop told me was it was a one owner watch who the old man traded it in for some jewellery for his wife (I always take stories with a pinch of salt).

It even came with its own battle scars and cheese.

I have noticed some hand drag whats happened in the past looking at it normally you cant tell only in the pictures and using the eye glass

Now, this is a really honest piece, congratulations ~

Enjoy! It's a great reference, and it's pretty clear that the jewelry shop hasn't tried to "prepare" it at all. ;-)

I don't see chamfers so it's polished unless he has better pics to show the lugs... Definitely has honest battle scars... A real tool watch

Congrats and you have the quick set

Sadly on advice I’ve returned the 16750 so the hunt continues

This is what I would love (borrowed pic for a sale listing in aug)

I know it’s a service replacement dial but I’m looking for a everyday wear watch
