1675 vs. 16750

What do people recommend between a 1675 vs. 16750? what are the pros and cons of each? I'm just starting my research and search. Also, dumb question, but what is a Matte dial?

The main difference is the addition of the quickset feature, which I think is very nice to have. I only chose the 1675 because the 16750 was not available in the year I wanted.

A matt dial is simply a dial with a paint texture that reflects less, as opposed to a gloss dial.

Yes, my understanding is that the pre-1965 1675 cases are thinner, and additional changes have been made to later GMT models.

Ive got mine on a 62510H Jubilee right now and love it but want to try oyster. Should I buy an Oyster or trade the Jubilee for one? Im not one for having to have a period correct rivet or folded or whatever.

Not sure what the difference in price would be since I've never been interested in jubilee, but regardless I think the way to go is to buy an oyster and if you find you like it better, sell the jubilee.
