Question about 1675- possible first vintage purchase
Good evening all,
I’ve been a lurker here for a long time. Never had anything of value to say and not a Rolex owner… yet. I own a few dozen watches Squale, Seiko, Laco, Sinn and micro brands. But I’ve been er owned a “luxury” or higher dollar timepiece. Mostly because I could never decide on which one. As if one would be enough. Nevertheless here I am again. This time with a question. Basically how do you determine what is or isn’t something that is ok. I’m not worried about real vs. fake. I was offered a 1675 at what seems to be a good deal. Seems to be because I don’t know really what to look for. After doing some homework and looking through the forum here is what I think it is: Serial number puts it at 1964 Case is worn/polished with no sharp beveled edges. Dial is a type 1 I think. Long E. But maybe service dial, although I didn’t see any examples of a long E service dial. Large GMT hand but that fits serial number. Bezel is age correct. Bezel insert—— I think this is aftermarket. Which is the red flag How much does that affect the value of a watch? Is there anything else I’m missing? On to the pics: |
