Will a 1675 inlay also fit a 16750 GMT ?

Hi,

I recently bought a nice insert for a 1675. It's a bit faded and has some nice patina.

I'm now looking for a nice patinated 1675 to make a nice watch, but I was wondering if I can also look for a 16750 ? Will this inlay also fit?

Would also welcome your thoughts on the inlay itself of course

Thanks!

All plastic crystal GMT inserts are interchangeable

All sapphire crystal GMT inserts are interchangeable.

They do not interchange between acrylic and sapphire.

I hope you never find a Ferrari nut on the street. You may feel the drive to complete the thing!!

In any case, a 16750 will give you the best of both worlds: vintage looks and quick date change, although the 1675 is some sort of a grial...
