Sold my Red Sub and picked up...

my "new" vintage '77 1675. Thanks to Jacek @ HQ Milton.

the patina is amazingly even and super creamy. that and a violet pepsi bezel. #inlove.

I'm not sure about change a Red for a 1675, anyway your violet is amazing

Jagatai · 22 June 2012, 09:23 PM

Love it!!

drockadam · 22 June 2012, 09:26 PM

Absolutely gorgeous! One day, I'd love to go see HQ Milton and meet Jacek. I'm very jealous of what he does.

Mike1066 · 22 June 2012, 10:12 PM

Beautiful watch. So many Reds around - I think that was a good choice!

RLX-lvr · 22 June 2012, 10:50 PM

Yes, alot more character indeed.

Whatever make you happy is the way to go. Never mind what is the most popular or the most expensive. If this 1675 makes you smile more than great choice.

I as well believe my pcg 1675 has more character than my mf 1680 red. It is the only one in my collection that is untouchable.

Nice

azguy · 23 June 2012, 12:42 AM

If you are happy we are happy

Keeperoftime · 22 June 2012, 10:49 PM

I love it when the bezel takes on this hue!
Overall wonderful example btw!

Thats one beauty of a GMT, congrats !

watchcrank · 23 June 2012, 01:15 AM

under valued right now imho of course. wear it in good health. m

MP5 · 23 June 2012, 01:21 AM

I agree with your assesment! Subs are nice but A great 1675 does it for me

b.wayne · 23 June 2012, 01:30 AM

Gentlemen,

Thank you very much for the compliments. The Red was certainly more expensive and desirable to most, but I've gotten 3x the amount of compliments from wearing the 1675. But more importantly i just don't see this combination quite often... There will be room one day for another red, it will just have to be a DRSD.

Will try to get some wrist shots shortly.

Lamone · 23 June 2012, 02:18 AM

Good move! I love a 1675. Wear it in the best of health.

Michael M. · 23 June 2012, 02:39 AM

Very nice, the 1675 is a great model to began with, but yours has killer patina and a amazing insert

Frogman4me · 23 June 2012, 04:31 AM

Wow I love the patina! Congrats

I love it! Congrats and Wear In Good Health
