Hi everyone
I’m a new member in this forum. I have purchased this watch a month ago. I would like to know more about it. Serial number 2.7 million.
What mark is the dial ?
Did this watch come with this insert ?
Did this watch come with this bracelet ?
Does it lose a lot of value because the hands have been changed ?
Thank you so much in advance.

Do you have a partial serial?

Just added it. Thank you

Serial number is 2.7 million.

The date code on the bracelet is correct for the serial number as is the dial, the hands appear to be later looking at the colour but some better pics would be good and to me the insert also looks correct.

MK1 dial or "Long E" which is correct for the serial #.

The insert is a later replacement.

The bracelet (7836) is kind of early for the serial but very likely original with the 280 end links on there.

Hands can be sourced which will not put you back too much. Does not impact price more than 10% or so.

Question where can I read more about the dial marks for 1675 with pictures to show the difference between them ?
Also what insert did this watch have when it was purchased?
Thanks again

2.7 million is normally a 1970 or 1971 case back - I've seen them dated both years. Having a 2 71 date coded clasp (Feb. 1971) indicates the 7836 Oyster bracelet is not incorrect for this watch and is fully acceptable.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions.

Proper insert should cost around 1500 and hands 8-900

Good to know. I paid 12k for it. Do you think I paid too much ?
