1675 GMT Hand Stack
Hello all:
I read in these forums that the correct hand stack for a 1675 places the red GMT hand on the bottom below the hour hand. Just noticed that my (what are supposed to be original hands) do not indicate this as the GMT hand is above the hour hand. Any idea how this could have happend? |

changed in service possibly.. actually most likely. If it has had a non rolex service they might just have put them back on in wrong order.
my 1675 goes from bottom to top ; red hand hour hand minute hand seconds hand.

So the GMT hand rotates twice every 24 hours and the hour hand only rotates once in your case?

You sure it is a 1675 and not a 16750?

have you checked the case that it says 1675 and not 16750?
Even if it does say 1675 it might never have been used until they started using the upgraded movement on the 16750? Stranger things have happened. Get the movement checked. Also movement could have been replaced but so woudl dial and hands probably at the same time. Still a great watch but for peopel like us it nice to know what one has exactly

what about the time adjustment. Is the 16750 GMT non adjustable like the 1675? If I do have a 16750 movement the GMT hand is still non adjustable, just like a 1675.

Is it non-quick set or quickset? That might help understand the movement situation.

The issue here is that the 24H (red hand) is not at the bottom where it is supposed to be.

I am starting to think it may be a transitional year? Maybe a 1675 case with a pre quickset 16750 movement from the factory.
Is this possible? |

of course you are right but that would make no difference if they just had a 1675 case and stuck a 16750 mov't ,hands and dial on it. This matte dial was laos used on both so from its appearnace it tells us nothing. I dont know if rolex could have done this but thats what he wants too know i think
