Rolex 1675 Pepsi

Hi,
Can someone give me an idea of how much this watch should go for?

rolex 1675 from 1967

Heavy Patina. I believe the crystal has been changed. no box or papers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Karmen

MK 2, and hands look painted/color matched to me.
Case looks decent.
Serial? Bracelet?

Thank you for your response.

Serial 170xxxx

As for the hands, I don't think they have been painted. They look pretty original to me. Do you want me to post any other pictures to help out?

Here are some more pics. I can try to take closer pictures of the dial if you need me to.

If it had a bracelet, the correct Mark I dial and a correct insert, it would be a nice watch to consider, but, more photos are needed to judge the case/lugs/spring bar holes. Pricing should factor in the cost of the correct and/or missing parts.

I think they do not match as well.. Nothing wrong with that as long as it is disclosed..

Not based on the serial number that you provided, which would be circa 1967. Additionally, the fonts on the insert indicate to me that it is probably a blue-back insert. GMTs from the late 1960s had red back inserts and the openings in the 8s were oval, not round like those found on the much later blue back bezel inserts.

Yes to all of the above and to pile on to the criticism, the bottom left lug alone would be a deal breaker...

That said, if the price allows for you to replace the parts necessary then maybe, but only pull the trigger if you want a project...
