1675/16750 help. Looking at a purchase

I ran across a 16750 at the same estate jeweler shop where I picked up my 79090 Tudor a few months ago. I have always loved the Pepsi and Coke GMT's but have never acted upon it.

At the jewelers the other day and they have this (these) and wanted to get everyone's opinion. I am really more interested in the one on the right which I believe to be a 16750 matte dial (no wg surrounds, hand stack looks right??) and the one on the left is a 1675 I believe??? From the limited research that I did matte dial 16750's are a little harder to come by and therefore a little more desirable. I like the "untouched" look of the watch where as the one on the left seems to be a little over polished at quick glance.

The watch people I usually talk to were not there so I did not even have them taken out of the case to closer inspect. Will be going back for better pictures in next couple days.

I am assuming what I see is what I get, but my 79090 had complete box and papers when I bought it so I am not really sure.

My main concern is the 8 o'clock marker and the coloring of it. The iPhone photo makes it look worse than it is in person, the screenshot is more representative of its appearance.

What I really want to know is do the dial/bezel insert/hands all look like they were from the same time period/watch? Would the experts say that it is a good representation of a mid 80's piece (assuming as I do not have the SN yet).

Any other thoughts on the 1675?

Any pictures that would help??

Price wise the one on the right is in the mid $4k's and the left is in the mid $6k's if i recall correctly from peering at the tags thru the case.

Thank you in advance for the help and more info and pics to come.
