Advice needed with this 1675

Hi folks,
I need some advice with this 1675, series number 5.5.
My doubts are if dial is a correct mk4 and if the insert is correct as wel.
Many thanks in advance


Thanks a lot

The current dial in the watch is a Mark IV. I would expect a Mark V with that serial number but a Mark IV probably isn't out of the realm.

The insert is much later and the crystal is aftermarket - unless it has been heavily polished and lost it's 2 1/2 magnification. The hands could be original or possibly replacements and exhibit evidence of deterioration/cracking.
