Gmt 1675

Hello everyone,
I've been in the hunt for a nice gmt, I was going to go down the 6542 route but that proved to be to much for me

Since then I have started looking at 1675 I was at first looking for a gilt dial 1675 but that was proving hard to find a nice example in the UK

I have since found a 1675 Long E 1971
Here's some pics
If you have any input or some knowledge on this watch feel free to share
Sorry for my bad photography

Thanks in advance

Looks decent, some polish (especially the top right is thin and top left is a little round) and I cant read the end links/bracelet #s but from a quick glance the bracelet seems to be a replacement. I like the insert, the red to brown look is gaining value and I like it as much as the fuchsia fades. Overall, a good example imho.

But I am NO expert, i look forward to hearing the others here chime in.

Looks like most of the lumes are crumbled, does this bother you? I would be looking for one in better condition personally.

Agreed, my previous comment is based upon my personal appetite for more rugged vintage than clean/NOS vintage. IMO the plots are consistent with the bezel...
