Should definitely be in the Vintage Forum to answer your specific questions. Only thing I would say is it should have a red back insert (blue introduced in teh 16750 era, if not mistaken). Insert could be artificially aged or aftermarket as they are getting that good. Still looks very nice. The bracelet is definitely a newer model (78360 from later 1970s I think) as it should have a 7206 rivet bracelet. If the lume plots do not glow at all it has probably been relumed in the past although it does look like there is damage to those plots on 4, 5, 8, and 11. Also a crack in the GMT hand which should be stabilized. Hour and minute hand added after the relume maybe? Case does seem a bit odd. Could be the pics but the crown guards are a little flat on top and I would expect more of a chamfer on the lugs. Wait for the experts, I am not one. Although, TimeToGo is one. Very interested to see the responses as well.
