reborn 1675

While the vintage purist might not find this one appealing, I'm really liking the look. It's a 4.2 million serial 1675, just refreshed with a Luminova dial and hands (thank you to Springer), and a new service bezel/insert ( thank you to rlx1986), period correct oval link band ( thanks again Springer). One day I may look to restore it with a correct dial/hands, but to be honest I like it this way.

I'm a huge fan of the "swiss" lumi service dials and hands on the vintage pieces!

Not everyone is staring at your wrist and wanting to see bracelet clasp etching to see originality/correctness......it's really for your own hobby and how you like it. I think the watch looks great, enjoy in good health.
