Hi, no you need a Long E dial, this one one is mk5 for last production, surely swapped during a service with hands and insert

+1 on mignonp13's comments.

The Long E dial is appropriate for that vintage / serials in the 2m range.

This looks like a Mk 5B. According to my research this is not the most common service dial, but sometimes used a service dial nonetheless. The hands match the dial indicating they were likely replaced together.

The bezel insert has also been replaced. See the top half of the 8's. All 1675's should have an oval for the top half of the 8. These are round.

The dial in your watch is not correct based on the serial number.

You need a Mark I dial - which some guys call a LONG E.

Your current dial is one of the Mark V variations which were sometimes used as a service dial decades ago.

That would be a Mark I dial which would be correct.
