docdoc Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Could anyone enlight me about watcheden's GMT 1675 ? Is it any good (apart from the dial) ? What about the bezel ? It looks wrong compare to gen I saw on the web ? Well, any advice would be much welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSentier Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi, not the vintage expert, but had a gen one in my hands yesterday, as I wanted to buy it. It was a "Pepsi" from 1971 and looked like new. The AD said, that the 1675 were only available with red/blue or black bezel insert. No "Coke" bezel at this time. I also saw this one from watcheden, but had no time to compare it to the gen. Here are some GMT Infos in german. Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 It's getting better but still not quite there. They've got the color split right in the bezel (asymmetric to the numerals) but the crown is still too big. The bezel appears to be a shaved-down Submariner bezel. But it's getting better.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 the watch eden one looks just alright, its priced accordingly, that dial is horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Nanuq, what is yours from ? Your bezel looks gen (and the rest of it, also), no ? I tought of replacing the dial with a gen one from the bay. I guess the bezel is the big issue. Does the GMT ever exist with this kind of bezel ? I check here but it does not seem so… Edited September 1, 2010 by docdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Another note... don't take my dial as a reference. That's a screwy "mini" dial, with indices much smaller than typical. Check out the text sizing in the bottom three lines. There's a start to the WE errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'm impressed that the 1675 rep is still in a state of evolution. It is getting better, but dang, it's been going on for years and years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Getting better, and the cool thing about doing a 1675 is the IHS 2836 movements would actually be the correct hand stack, and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Getting better, and the cool thing about doing a 1675 is the IHS 2836 movements would actually be the correct hand stack, and reliable. Indeed. That makes it even crazier that there isn't a decent replica. The only difference on the gen 1675 is that the 24h hand isn't adjustable. You operate the GMT function from the bezel only. Killing the adjustability function on reps isn't a big deal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
