Thoughts on 1675 Mk 1?

[Styles Bitchley]

This looks to me to be a nice example. Not sure about the insert though. Anything stand out?

A couple of the lugs look thin to me but maybe thats the pictures.

Service insert and polished lugs. Lume should have a slight waffle pattern and not very precisely applied (it’s hard to see in these photos). Endlinks should be type 80. Check the clasp as well for the correct type and year markings.

Agree with above. Also, a bit of excess oil is present on the hands, near the center...

Should actually be 58 for a GMT.

A better pic of the lugs would be good and the only thing to add would be a service date wheel as well. I would not agree about the lume being waffled. My 1675 for reference from around the same time.

As Lee mentioned in his post, not all GMT 1675 dials from the later 1960s had the waffle pattern found on the markers. It varied by the dial manufacturers.

The correct end links for the 7206 are 58 not 80.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Ends are 80 on this one. Here are a few more photos that show the lugs a bit better (best I have).
