I owe the inspiration for this grail purchase to CajunTiger. I took a look at his unpolished scg 1675 gilt when it was briefly offered for sale a few months back on the sales forum and became obsessed. So I tracked down and purchased an unpolished 1675 pcg.
The bezel insert that it wears today is a rare and beautiful bird. It changes from deep red to deep purple depending on the light. Also, it's date appropriate!
Enjoy..
