Looking at a 1675

I was told it's all original parts except the gmt hands. Does this look original? Any flags or concerns? Trying to get pics of the movement.

The watch looks good. Needs to relume the hands to match the dial and it would be perfect.

Perhaps post a portion of the serial number so everybody knows what range it is supposed to fit. It looks quite nice! Although the lug at 11:00 looks odd or perhaps just the lighting. The crown guard on the 2:00 side looks oddly shaped with a flat spot on top towards the crown. Very nice fat font insert and a nice rivet bracelet. I will wait for the experts to comment as I am not one.

Well, it has a Mark I dial. A service bezel - yes, service bezel not bezel insert. It has a nice bezel insert, thin dial lume, mismatched hands and a very poor case. The bracelet appears to be the USA C&I Oyster rivet bracelet which could be original to the watch.

This is twice, that I admire, how much knowledge you have. And its from the same seller that you commented on an IG post a few weeks back.
