Martyd3 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 What's the difference? Is it just the addition of the hour wheel for the GMT hand or is it more involved? Thanks. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'll let the movement experts chime in but I do know most 1575's are marked 1570. How's that for confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 It is 1575. But they all marked 1570 as it is a modified 1570. More than just adding the 24Hr hour wheel, more parts are needs to take care of the date changing mechanism as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I like to think of it as: 1570- no date 1575- date 1575GMT- date w/ GMT hand All are decended from the 1530 which first appeared around 1957- followed by the 1565, 1520, etc. 1570 is a chronomter movt. as is the 1565, others typically aren't, but like the James Bond movie, w/ Rolex, 'Never say never!

indyberetta Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Anyone know the parts necessary to convert a 1575 date to a 1575 date GMT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Based on my experience converting a 1030 to 1036gmt (I have never worked on or converted a 157xGMT), in addition to the expense, you are likely to have trouble locating some of these parts.
