If you use the refinishing pen for brushed finishes, wear gloves and eye protection. Those little shards of fiberglass can screw you pretty good.

Joshua's version is so badly done, it is the worst attempt at making a rep of the real deal.
Breguet rules. And so does their quintessential tool/military watch, the Type XX
Pulled this out of the safe this morning.
The movement needed a little action - I have not worn it in a while.
Upon putting on the watch, I had forgotten how perfect the 5513 is.
No date, symmetrical dial, Superdome Tropic 19...
I broke down and wore this.. But only for a few hours. The 26J 1520 movement needed a little exercise since it had been sitting in my safe for a few months. By the way, it's on a solid Oyster bracelet (not the G-10 Nato).
But later on, since I brought it with me, I will be wearing this:
Yes, 1675 is the magic number. There was a 6542 before, but only for a few years. And it was a smaller watch with a different caliber movement than 1675.
1675 was made from '59 to aprox. 1980 <---- long time!
By the way, that's my genuine 1675 you got posted there
PS. Here's a little bit of history: The Royal Observatory was founded in 1675 by Charles II... Thus GMT time was created in 1 6 7 5
