Icon9 Rolex 1675 HELP (for a complete dope) **UPDATE**

Calling all vintage experts. Should I buy this watch??????

(After finding more pics, I now think the service dial and hands are LUMINOVA and not Tritium)

Let me start by saying that I know very little about vintage Rolex. Even so, I've always really liked the 1675. I recently stopped by a small Rolex AD who had a 1675 from roughly 1960 or so (nice pointy crown-guards).

The thing is...it's been completely refurbished, (I think in the 90s) Pretty much everything has been swapped out (for genuine Rolex parts). The AD said they knew the bezel had been replaced in the 90s but wasn't sure about everything else.

- Replacement dial (Luminova?)
- Replacement hands (Luminova?)
- Replacement bezel and insert
- Replacement bracelet and clasp
- All that seems to be original are those pointy crown-guards

The replacement parts don't bother me much. I'm not big on patina and am just thinking of adding this as an everyday piece in the rotation.

My question is, with all of the replacement parts is this worth $11000.00 or will I lose my shirt if I get tired of it and try to sell it in a couple of years?

Sorry for the long post and thanks to anyone kind enough to weigh in.

See my one not so great wrist shot below (told you I was a dope)
