1675 MK1 dial?
A question for you experts please.
I've recently got this (IMHO!) beautiful 1675, 1.8 mil serial. Is this a MK1 dial?? Later 78360 bracelet, Twinlock crown and has apparently been in a safe for the last 25 years. It has a couple of service marks in the case back. The dial (and the insert) look identical to the 1967 watch in a book I have. What do you think guys ... reckon it's all original apart from the bracelet upgrade? Thanks in anticipation! |

Thought I'd post the watch again alongside my other 1675 - 876*** serial PCG ... (service dial ) just for comparison.
I didn't even know it was a service dial until I learned from you great guys on this forum! ...Look how white the Lume plots are!!! At least the watch lights up the room in a power cut! How I wish I had the original dial .. changed in it's last life because it was a bit discoloured (sigh!) |

Brief observation. It appears to be a MK 1 dial. Insert is a service replacement. GMT hand appears whiter than rest of hands and plots.

I'd like to tell you guys that I'm really enjoying learning from this forum. It certainly beats TV & Netflix here in the UK .. especially now the weather has changed into the English weather you've all heard us moan about! |

The Long E in ROLEX is a give away for MK 1.
