What do you guys think of this 1675 from 1967? Does everything look correct to you?

I like the aged tritium markers on the dial but the hands look too white and clean and a poor match (probably a later service replacement?).

Thanks

Not sure on the dial, but service hands and insert.

Service dial as well..

You confirmed my thoughts Norman.

Thank you both for your advice. I don't think I'll go for this watch as the hands stick out like a sore thumb to me (pardon the pun). And yes, I had also thought that the bezel looked a little too perfect.

How can you tell its a service dial? Presumably its an earlier tritium service dial?

The dial layout (font, crown, etc...) is that of a service dial.
I invite you to search for '1675 dial variations' and the MK classification. Very interesting and informative read

Your suspicion regarding the "bezel" or bezel insert is correct, which is also a service replacement.

Thank you Lamone. I'll check it out

Thanks. I suppose that the lack of fading is a give away. Surely a 49 year old bezel is bound to have some fading unless its been locked in a safe?

Looks fine to me for a watch that has been maintained and repaired throughout its life.

Just compared you photo with my 1967 1675 GMT, which I've owned from new, so I know its history, and I agree with everyone else - definitely service dial, hands and bezel - none of those in the pic are original.
