Icon5 Opinions of 1655 please

I've been offered this one at a very reasonable price. I've handled the watch, everything feels solid, and it all appears to work as it should. These are my own photos.



It has a serial number that places the man. date at around 1975-6. There are some obvious replacement parts on the watch (such as the bezel and possibly the hands), but it seems to still be a good value for what the seller is asking.



I noticed one thing about the dial that I haven't seen on any of the other examples I've found in photographs: the alignment of the 'T SWISS T' below the six seems narrower than others I've looked at. The stem of the
T's actually align with the minute hash mark above them, whereas on others of this vintage the T alignment seems to be a bit wider than the hash mark. Don't know if that's significant or not.



I'd sure appreciate hearing any opinions or information you might have about this watch. Unfortunately, as is usual with things, I've got to make a move within the next day or so.
