路So if the serial lines up reasonably with the Mk4, I'd go for it. But I'm a vintage guy and I like acrylic crystals and don't mind the absence of quick-set date. Condition-wise, the chamfers are soft, but the lugs are still thick. The lume plots are thin, but still mostly there. The red part of the insert is a bit too far gone for me. But overall, it's still appealing! And the papers help the value quite a bit. Overall, it's not easy to find an original 1675 like this with papers in decent condition, so financially it's a good deal, IMO.

路That鈥檚 a nice 16710 with a lot of extra accessories. Now I see why the seller is making you an even trade offer. This slightly changes my perspective.
I value your set btwn $12.2-13K, we all know what the seller has been asking for the 1675. That watch has been sitting unsold for a long minute. We have to ask the question as to why.
Make sure the serial corresponds to the dial, get better pics of the lugs and close ups of the dial. I would not consider the watch if the dial has any blemishes.
Also worth noting that the seller is experienced, I would proceed with extreme caution to make sure the watch is indeed as advertised.

Oh, ur honest opinion... since the lugs are pretty thick... do u think the case has been polished or is that natural wearing on the chamfurs?

路I just looked at some other photos in the listing, and I think that the lume plots are holding it back. In the photos that aren't taken in direct sunlight they are splotchy.
Polishing, not wear. But the lug holes aren't cratered and the case could easily be restored.

路Ya think this particular 1675 hasn't been selling because of his asking price (per quality)?

路I'd like to thank everyone for allllllllll the advice! I really appreciate it. After reviewing everything and looking at a million other 1675's I'm deciding to pass on the trade 馃檨. Hope I don't regret it in the future...
Reasons: Upon further inspection, dial had imperfections that were a bit much for my liking.
Again thanks for all the expert knowledge and insight @Dan S and @ATWG

路Glad you went that way. I am 99% a vintage guy but I have a patina threshold (more forgiving with case- but dial needs to be stellar) and that one was well past it for me, but I understand why people dig it so try not to judge too hard 馃槈
I will say having owned a few slow date watches, I have pretty much sold them all off- except my OPD which sets like silk and I can roll it backwards unlike some. But it needs to at least be a 9/12 set or it鈥檚 a deal breaker for me now.
The sweet spot is the 16750, all the charm of the 1675 but quick set.
Have owned mine for 22 years and it鈥檚 a lifer (pardon the aftermarket bracelet- I love the rivet)
