Hi all,
Looking to expand my horizons out of my Omega and Glycine comfort zone and move to the next watch on my grail list, the amazing 1675 GMT. Been doing my homework here and on the VRF and I "think" I've found a fairly nice piece but would greatly appreciate the feedback from this knowledgable group. Link below:

I found and compared the above against the below (same year, close serial num, movement) and all seems to cross about check:

Am i missing anything or is the ebay find solid?
Thanks

Ok, please help me understand where you're coming from, the condition of the hands/dial or both or overall watch itself? The fade on the bezel is exactly what i'm looking for. How over priced are you thinking 500-1000? Thank you

Dial is stained/spotted, case has been polished quite a bit, needs a service, bracelet not original (and not in very good condition, you can see the stretch between links even "posed" as it is".)

Don't be distracted by the bezel - it is the very least important part of the watch, and a wide variety of correct replacements are not hard to find at all for this reference.

Thanks to you both. I'll re focus on dial, hands, case as I keep searching. Apperciate ya'lls input.
