Are not the thin cases more sought after ?

Absolute beauty wow. Newbie question here, are these matte dials supposed to have flat lumes or most raised if they have original lumes? I always wondered since some lumes have a 3d affect and some are very flat.

Ouch. Looks like someone made a real mess around those lug holes. Shame ☺️

Hard to discern w/o pics for examples...but can be flat or raised (depending on how you define flat and raised) and still be original. You might be comparing across dial variants.

When I look around the net there seem to be plenty of 1675’s for sale at the moment though Radial dials may be one of the least common variants. Plenty of other vintage Rolex for sale too and either the price hasn’t moved in the past few years or I’ve just become a little less sensitive to it as I’m not buying or selling.

Yeah. The premium in radial dial is there given the shorter production years and unique look from the other mark dials.
