Incoming! 1675 with tropic dome!

Just in from Springer! A 1968 1675 GMT with the most gorgeous fat font insert and t38 tropic dome crystal. I've been after this configuration for quite some time, and could not be happier with the end result!

Great look. And now there's a whole thread about the 1675/tropic dome combo...

That one is Springer's "PanAm", there's a thread about it floating around.

Wore it to see Machester Orchestra last night and got a compliment from the fellow next to me wearing a GMT2 Black ceramic, I've never had anyone comment on my Fat Lady or 16700 before! Thanks guys, and John!

Just trying to capture the beauty of this insert, my previous photos weren't doing enough justice.
