Calling all 1675 experts

[tframo]

I'm considering a gen purchase of a 1675. After studying all the different variations of dials, cg's etc there is obviously a huge swing in prices.

I like the way all of them look so I don't NEED to have a certain year

My Budget is about 5k +\- Ideally with a jubilee

Is there a certain year that I should focus on that would be in my price range? Are certain years a no-go?

Thanks for all your input, thoughts and opinions

T, I have been searching basically everyday for over a year for a specific 1966 model. 66 was a transitional year so you see gilt and matte dials, small and big GMT hands. Here is a nice quick reference for GMT's http://www.gmtmasterhistory.com/

I see good post 66 examples with matte dials in the 5-7k range frequently. These guys have a good selection http://www.hqmilton.com/search/results/search&keywords=1675/

Generally newer or service parts = less expensive.

Good luck with the hunting...

Thank Drop! I've been lurking on hq Hamilton, bobs, and the bay.

Which configuration of a 66 are you going for?

Well, the 1675 is my grail, but it's too much expensive now(for me ) !
