    I’m curious how other 1675 owners or interested collectors feel about the different Mk dial variants and bracelet options from a collectible, visual and wearing appeal standpoint. I pose this, assuming comparable condition between the options.

    Regarding the dials, I would rank accordingly: Mk3 radial, Mk1 long E, Mk2, Mk4, Mk5. My ranking is based with the weighting higher on the collectible variable.

    I admittedly don’t have experience beyond my two Swiss folded link bracelets. I believe Oyster Swiss rivet, C&I American rivet and Jubilee were the most common primary options.

    I really like how the folded link bracelet feels on the wrist. Kind of slinky and lighter than say a 93150 for example. The feel to me is similar to wearing an earlier AP RO model on the wrist.

    Mk2, low 3 SN on 7836 folded link

    What are other opinions?

    I agree but visually, I would put MK2 ahead of MK1 so 3,2,1,4,5

    swiss rivet 7206>us rivet and 7836 in terms of fit and comfort for me. If you want to go dressier, 6251and 62510 and oval US/Mexico jubilee are comfy as well

    @killer 67 I actually agree with you about the Mk2 visually. I have heard the Swiss rivet 7206 is a great bracelet and getting harder to find in great shape for a reasonable price.

    7206 with 58 ELs is easily $1800 in average condition
