suggestion on 1675 value

[aletir]

Dears, I'm quite new of this forum and wish you could find the time to help me. Some years ago i bought a 1675 from a vintage retail shop, SN31676xx, 1970. A couple of Y ago I also serviced it at Rolex and only recently, when I got more serious on vintage Rolex and in passion with 1675, I realized that it has a Super Luminova service dial, with also replaced original Luminova hands. According to your experience is this affecting a lot the value of this model, I cant find any comparable in the market and not able to figure out what could be its value. thx

You can find a service dial and hands for it if its important to you.

If a 1675 with service (tritium) dial and hands like this is ~$8k, you can deduct the cost of the tritium replacements, which would be a couple of grand, I think. Deduct more for the watchmaker and to refurbish the bracelet.

There are others here who can speak to the replacement costs more specifically.

Dear Tom thanks for your reply. I'm not interested in a replacement dial, only looking for a valuation of a watch mine, that that has a service dial. One question: is this a tritium dial or a super Luminova one like i thought, it has a single Swiss mark at 6.

The dial is Luminova. Very likely the hands are, too, replaced by Rolex when you had it serviced. Unfortunately that will lower the value in the vintage market.

Note below the 6 marker , anything swiss/swiss made would be luminova while tritium dial would indicate swiss -T <25.

Unfortunately, this significantly decreases the value of the watch as most vintage collectors are looking for period perfect matching tritium dials and hands. Most people who are looking for luminova will likely go with a newer 16710.

Agree with this. Think the newer dial and hands will hurt the value significantly.

Sorry for the bad news

Rolex also made swissT<25 luminova service dials.

There is a definite market for lesser value/grade GMT 1675s even those with service dials. Many guys do like the luminova service dials - believe it or not.

As an example, if you have a $10,000 watch with correct parts - then deduct whatever the cost of a Mark II dial and hand set costs and you have the value of your watch. Deduct the value of other correct parts that you would need to make the watch correct which make make the value even lower. ( I'm not saying your watch is valued at $10,000 with a correct dial since the case photos aren't the best. Additionally, I don't know if your bracelet is correct or whether it is a Datejust bracelet.)

That sounds right.

The only offsetting factor is people will tend to give value to the current parts on your watch, i.e., the service dial and hands.

So my guess would be if you were to assume a watch with all correct is priced at $10,000 but on your watch, you have a service dial and hands then the math would be:

$10,000 less market value of a correct dial and hands add back market value of service dial and hands.

Everything seams reasonable and I tank you all for the patience and valuable suggestions. One question following your reasoning: how much would it be worth it a 1970 GMT like the one I own, if all original and a set of dial and hands of the same year?
