    Big thanks to @SgWatchBaron for his insight and coaching and to @MPWATCH for a killer watch and seamless transaction.

    Really excited to add a gilt 1675 to the family. The case is unpolished with wide bevels and the dial has full lume plots with nice patina. While it isn't a flawless dial, it has a great honest look that fits the overall patina.

    I'll be matching the hands and calling it a day.

    Hi, congratulations on your nice 1675. I was wondering what was your plan for the hands. Because I am facing the same dilemma.
    Kind regards.
    Mounir.

    Beautiful gilt 1675's congrats!
    I had LAWW relume some hands in the past and they relumed with tritium and color matched.
    Was scary to me that it could be done, and I disclosed when I sold the hands, but it changed the look of the watch and they did a great job

    Do you know if it was new tritium or if they got it from old hands ?

    I'm not 100% certain, and this would be a better question for LAWW, but I'm almost positive it was new tritium.

    LAWW does not use tritium, does not have tritium and would never claim to have relumed hands with tritium.
    It hasn't been manufactured for watches in over 30 years, is toxic and illegal worldwide, especially USA.

    It's hard to put into words or pictures the additional depth and character the lacquer/gilt dials add when on the wrist. Good find, and have fun wearing it!
