I finally found a white 1675 from the original owner. The case is fat fat fat....unpolished and the hands and dial are WHITE. Even the insert has the thick font and some patina....

With the TEAM....

That watch is simply fantastic.

Congrats!

sojourner · 30 May 2009, 11:13 AM

Sweet...congrats! Since it's from the original owner, were you able to retrieve original boxes, paperwork, etc.?

Lowflight · 30 May 2009, 11:17 AM

Thanks

I need to get a Pepsi insert to make it look less like the 1680 though

I got the original (maybe) inner box and his service pouch and post-service booklet. I am going to sell the box as I am not a box collector

The watch is a 4.4 million 1675 from 1975

Original stuff like boxes and paperwork really add to vintage Sports models' value...you should consider hanging on to them.

Three beautiful watches you have there Harold. Congrats on the GMT, it's stunning and I agree, a Pepsi bezel would set it off perfectly.

Imtiaz · 30 May 2009, 07:52 PM

Hi Harold great find. congrats

You need to tell us the story how you found the watch.

Lowflight · 30 May 2009, 11:17 PM

A few more of the Monaco since it drew some interest....

and since the 2nd amendment is loathed here....how about beer (at least until it is taxed to death)

SLS · 31 May 2009, 12:51 AM
