Hi,
I recently posted the other day about trading my 1680 Sub for a 1675. I wore the 1675 and traded back with my friend the next day. Today was different and I was able to get back into the same 1675 for a trade that didn't cost me my 1680 or any other Sub. Anyway here are some photos I hurriedly made when I got home. What if any part, looks wrong on this 1675? Thanks for any input.
FWIW, my friend has been wearing it for the last few days since we traded backwards. He didn't touch the time or even unscrew the crown and the 1675 is only +3 seconds from the time I set it three days ago. I'm eager to see how good it stays with my wear habits (I wear a watch at least 12 hours a day, sometime even to bed)

Thanks

Looks nice, so you ended up with the 1680 & the 1675, not bad! You may want to have watch pressure tested.

Thanks Mike. Since the GMTs are your forte can you tell me if any part looks off? I'm not too sure on the bezel. I only found one on all the GMTs on the internet and one from James Dowling (has an Arabic marked dial) was identical to the font work as seen on mine. I never got around to asking Mr.Dowling for permission to use his photo for comparison unfortunately. I found his photo at another website featuring military timepieces when I searched "1675" there.
Thanks for any help

Didn't you mention in the other thread that the crystal was chipped? It looks fine

Glad you ended up with both.

No Sir, it was the dial with chip. Overall it was worth what I traded away and will be a welcome daily wear watch til the time my friend gets me a 5512 I commisioned him to find me
