IDK off the top of my head if it ever existed in gen, people customize their gens a lot too. I don't see why it would matter, make like you want it. I think it looks great that way, I've seen it often but most of that was here where we all do unique things. I can tell you it never existed in gen past the four digit series, nor did the blueberry insert but that hasn't stopped me from doing what I want.

Don’t stress too much about whether the all red existed on a Pepsi 1675. It’s a controversial topic with some camps claiming it existed, others saying it didn’t. If you like it go with it. As mentioned many owners of gen modified their to their liking.

And like the all red hand, I’ve seen some controversy on the blueberry insert. People are claiming it never existed and the examples out there are printed using incorrect techniques relative to the inserts used at that time.

Thanks, I like the all red hand. It gives nice contrast. I have a small arrow head version, very nice quality and all but it is so small and "disappears" on the dial compared to the red one.

Really looks fine. I think there were probably some late model 1675s that had closed 6/9 DWs.
