Just wanted to share a watch I just bought. Everything looks correct to me. Bezel is late 60s/ early 70s which fits with the dial and the serial number. Hands need lume but my watch guy should be able to deal with this. Case looks like it is in great condition and was never polished. I will post more photos when it arrives.

Does anyone know if the bracelet is original to the watch?

Yes it may be, especially as the watch was sold in USA

Why? Was the 1175 sold only in the US?

This watch is based on what I can see from the last US batch, cal 563, made at last week of June 1969.
To me this watch is in its original condition, nice catch.
