Looks nice! I really don't know much about those bracelets. Is that what originally came on your 1675? What was the date range for those?

Eric no mine came with an oyster. I like the look of them. I don't know the exact dates but Range from the 50s and into the late 70s. Rich

Hi Rich,

Beautiful watch. I'm new here, and also have a period 1675 (my dad's from 1967). I'm wondering about the Bezel colors. The blue color on mine is 95% faded off, with the numbers not even visible. Is yours original to the period? I see many used ones with a darker looking blue which seem pretty matte vs the shiny bright blue yours has. Some I thought have a lighter blue, which is what I thought my dads was before it lost all its color.

What are your thoughts and could you tell me about your bezel?

Thanks,

Mike

Post an image of your watch Mike, would love to see it. A faded bezel can be a thing of rare beauty and often highly appreciated around here

Mike. My bezel is the original one and I am sure yours is too since its totally faded. I bet it's very nice. Rich.

Hey Rich, that looks great. I've been watching these lately. Even though it would not be period correct for mine, I just like them.
