This is for a real expert. If you want to consult one, send me a PM, and I will direct you to one I know; and in any event, good luck!

That elongated coronet sure looks like a 16750, however easiest way to tell would probably be by looking at the back...right ?


Or you could ask Orchi, who KNOWS his stuff. I wish he would post more often!
Cheers

Here's a 16750 dial I own:

where are the feet located on the back? Your answer is there as they had different movements.

The dial is the same as on my yr. 1967 GMT 1675

And that should have a MKI dial.

[gensiulia]

it's a 16750 dial, very similar to the last (service) white dial for 1675.

Thanks fellas. I believe it's a early 16750 dial.

There is incorrect info floating around on these elongated coronets found on the dials from the late 1970's GMT 1675's. That last dial used on the 1675's had the elongated coronet dial like on the 16750 matte dials. They were not all replacement dials!

The dial pictured in the first post could be a a late 1970's GMT dial or 16750 matte dial, based on where the mounting feet are located, like Greekbum and others have noted all ready.

Spot on John.

That's the problem with trying to make hard and fast rules about Rolex. Rolex doesn't play that game.
