Recently I got this 1675 from a local people I know, the original owner don't know about watch much, and I gave him a reasonable price for it. (know in mind that is a mix parts)

first of the Dial are mk4 I believed, but interestingly the Case got 1.3m number so it must belong to the Gilt Dial !, someone must took it of and put mk4 in for price reduce, the case back also stamp 71 , but luckily I found a II.65 back to match the S/N 1.3m , the case has been over polish but bavels still visible, the S/N got 1307999 very nice number, It also relate to my graduate class in High-School (79) clean and strong running Cal.1570

next hunt is the Gilt dial and a set of hands (small gmt too) might hard but looking !

also any comment about the Bazel ? , seems good to me as a Fat front

Good luck with the project. While the gilt era parts are getting tough to find, they are out there and with some perseverance, I'm sure you'll find what you need. The insert appears correct for the age, so it appears you at least have something left that is original.
