Thoughts on this 1675?

Serial is 5m. Looks to be all service parts to me except for the case. Does anything look aftermarket or off? Seller is shooting for the moon with a CAD16,000 asking price, but it’s not easy to gauge prices for something that’s basically a complete service watch.

Why do they ask 16000 CAD, and take the photos inside with poor lighting?

Definitely looks to be all service as you assessed. If you can get it cheaply if not move on as it is something easily obtainable at a much lesser amount. Come with any accessories?

I think they’re asking a bit much, probably because they want to use some of the proceeds to upgrade their ‘90’s flip phone camera.

Nothing here then. Move along unless of course you can talk the Seller down.

Some benchmark pieces at about 50-60% off the ask:

Hang on. Am I missing something, or is Crown & Caliber claiming this is the the original 1972 dial, and hands? The description doesn’t mention service dial or hands anywhere that i can see.

Even the copy on their website doesn’t mention the service dial. Just the insert.

Looks like it’s sold though.

Are they that knowledgeable?

I think you can do better for the money. I have seen some nice GMT’s
