Peace brothers :cheers:
I will not buy from them. I usually buy from TD here.
The one from Sead has flaws:
- incorect CG
- incorect dial/indexes
- incorect bezel insert
In this case the only option is to buy a gen

Exactly.
No rep 1675 has those crown guards and correct size crown, although they are polished to hell and back thats still a gen caseset all the way.
1st watch has a service dial and pictures were take from a dealer on ebay and uploaded to the site you have provided.

Get yourself the Cartel 1675
Swap out the dial for an ingod or a Yuki, add a gen crown tube and the correct plexi, send of to one of our modders like Bonesey.
And it will go from looking like this.
To this
Have a look at the rest of the photos from Bonesey at the link below.

This one from Bonesey looks avesome except CG. I think CG shape is not genlike.
IMO this one from RolexAddict has the correct CG:
This watch looks fantastic!!! I want one...

In the Bonsey thread, it says the case was just aged and polished. You could send your case to RolexAddict in France if you want to take it to the next level or just pay RolexAddict to build you a masterpiece. (not cheap!)

Here is another photo of the CG on mine.
If you want yours to look like the RA one, then you would need to get the CG's done as well.
It wont be cheap though, I have $650 into mine with all the parts etc, I have seen RA ones up for sale for a lot more than that.
Finally I found my dream 1675:
It is RA early mod. I think the dial is not correct (text) and need replacement.
What do you think?

I think you are only going to be happy with a gen. You're nit picking apart every watch for little things that nobody else in the world would even notice.
You've got your mind made up on a watch that there are NO decent reps of. And there's no high quality movements for it either. So you can either get a rep and mod it or have RA build you one for about 50% the cost of a gen. And it'll still never be perfect.

I would like to have a rep as much gen like as possible. Just it
The watch for me is perfect except the dial. Is it correct or no?
Just one question...
thanks

That dial is correct for a 16710, not a 1675. 1675's only say "Oyster Perpetual". You'd need a Cartel Dial or a Yuki dial.
1675 gens are the best value in the Rolex world. They are super cheap compared to most other used Rollies. Just go buy yourself a used gen and be done with it. You'll have an amazing watch that will last a lifetime and you will be tickled pink that you finally have the watch that you are dreaming about.
I'm serious. I was looking at 1972 gens for my 40th birthday. I found a red sub for $9,xxx but no box and papers. Unknown ownership history and it was overseas. In contrast, I found a one owner, 1969 1675 with all boxes (outer and inner), all papers, original sales receipt, all service records during the course of ownership, and even the AD sales materials and display goodies for $6,xxx. That was a frigging steal. You could have set up a whole museum display with all the sh*t this guy had. Did I buy it? No, I had other priorities, but I looked at that mofo online and drooled over the pics every day until he sold it.
Other 1675s from the late '70s can be found for somewhere in the $3K range the last time I looked. The best part is if you ever decide you need your money back out of it or you just want something else, you can sell it for what you paid for it. So you are literally parking your money into the watch. Instead of a 0% savings account, which gives you a statement each month that pisses you off because you aren't earning any interest, this actually gives you daily enjoyment as you wear it. Way better savings account if you ask me.
