Thanks Freddy and DL! The 1675 hasn't been off my wrist all weekend.
The facelift I referred to is a redial by CWP on the Silix base since a gen dial is too small for the case. I'll post up some more pix at some point this week.
Here's one more shot of the gilt glossy dial:
Nice watch JJ.
I agree, a better insert would be all I'd change. Classic Watch Parts (CWP) also sells a nice aftermarket bezel insert ~$50 and as Freddy said the Ofrei lumi dots are spot on or there are some you can find on ebay redone with a vintage toned lume that are nice -it will look something like this (of course mine has nice crack in it ):
Wear it well!

Here are a few quick new shots of my DSN 201A with a FGD dial installed (my 3rd and hopefully final iteration ) -these dials are fantastic!
Mounted on it is a frankenstrap; a Strapmasters nubuck shark in chocolate with a MP natural sewn-in buckle and gold stitching. I also had a T48 crown installed but unfortunately it did not fit the CG lever/placement well at all so I went back to the stock DSN crown. All that remains for now is to drill out the lug holes for the double screw type strap bars and I think I'm done.
