Educate me please

Can someone educate me on a 1963 rootbeer PCG 1675 GMT. Would like to know more about them please. What should I look for, what kind of provenance they may have.

Thanks,

Pete

The 2 tone 1675 GMT started in 1970

Hey Nikos,

I wonder what I saw then? It was a 1675, case back said I63 and it was PCG. The dial was a nipple dial and root beer insert, or so I thought it was. The dial was golden in color too. I wonder if it was a franken watch? I'll need to get pictures.

Pete

I'm guessing someone tried to change their gilt 1675 PCG to have a different look or imitate a tt 1675?

Are there any other kind of 1675's that are gold? Maybe it wasn't what I thought it was? I can confirm, though, it had nipple plots. However, off the top of my head, I really can't remember if it was stainless or not?

Guess an easier way is to ask what kind of 1675's existed in 1963?

Pete

An early gold 1675 does not have crown guards later they were added.
