Does this gilt 1675 look legit?

Price is on the low side for a 1675 with gilt dial, rivet band and fat font insert. Still, nobody is jumping on this.

With all the franken vintage watches these days, I don't really know anymore. The insert patina doesn't strike me as natural.

Would love to hear opinions from knowledgeable posters :-)..

Hands and insert later. Lume on the dial scraped away.

As ROH mentioned, the hands have probably been changed - at least the 24-hour hand which should have the small triangle tip not the large triangle like that currently found on the watch.

The insert patina looks natural to me and not artificially faded. I'd say it was from around 1970-71.

Also, regarding the lume, what is left of it is in poor condition.

Thank you guys!
I guess I'm not ready yet for this type of purchase, need to be more educated.

The seller did mention that the hands were replaced to be fair.
