Long E GMT 1675

Does this look like a decent MK I Long E 1675? Greatly appreciate your insights.

Better pics necessary but initial thoughts: Dial looks OK but needs macros to check lume as I can see white around the edges of the lume. Replacement bracelet and insert. Polished, cant tell with the angles but the bottom rt lug looks misshapen and the bottom right crown guard is nubby.

Def a watch with a story and should be priced as such. Better pics will help define if its just been polished too much. Would be good to see the movement too.

Many thanks. The lume is flat and not waffle-like. The lume had "shrunk" or dropped off around the edges. Is this consistent with Long E dial? Does the case appear like it had been welded and re-cut? Any thoughts?

Based on a couple of photos that have been posted here, the case chamfers appear to be very nice and fresh which would indicate to me that they have been professionally refinished. This is usually the result that is found on cases that have been over-polished or damaged in the past. There is nothing inherently wrong with having "fresh" chamfers on a case as long as the case has not had too much material removed from it.

As far as the case being repaired with some laser welding, the photos are not substantive enough to address this concern.

Thanks JP. As always, your comments are greatly appreciated.

Also, a big thanks to Tom for your sharing.
