Serial number 132xxx would be around 1941. If you missed a digit (which I believe you did) should be from around 1955-1956, the GMT Master was launched in 1954 but as ref. 6542 with no crown guards and gilt dial. The 1675 was launched until 1960 with pointed crown guards (cornino). You could be looking at a 'frankenwatch'. The hands are not correct for the time period of for a gilt dial GMT. The bezel is not correct either for the time period you state. A GMT from the time period you mention (based on the serial number) should come with a bakelite bezel insert and a brass bezel setup, no crown guards, gilt dial, gilt hands and small GMT red hand.
If it's from 1959 it cannot be a 1675 or a 16750. The 16750 is a quick-set from the early 80's.

You are missing the information from the auction. Can you re-copy?
Also, 1.3 mil should be around 1965. |

Careful not to confuse the 1675-0 with the 16750. The "-0" denotes stainless steel

Looks a bit like a bit of this and a bit of that has been used to put this watch together. Regular services can often account for a disparity of pieces in a watch that is 40+ years old but in this case the hands are a bit of a give away, when hands are replaced at service they don't leave a badly discolored, probably relumed second hand in place while replacing the others, that and the fact that GMT hand just happened to be hidden behind the cyclops would urge me to proceed with care. The dial, case and bezel look OK but the insert hands and date wheel don't look original to this watch.
If you have the time and patience this could be an interesting project watch, but not if the price goes much higher. Good luck! |

My next watch will be 5513 gilt dial, but the owner of the watch 1675-0 said , look at it ...... why I wanted to check with you first. It would have been ok, maybe I had changed my mind. Now it is not so, but thanks for all the help.
