My 1675 build begins

If you're interested in the All-Red http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=75710

The All-Red was seen from the late 60s to early-mid 1970s. The rarest combination is the all-blue service bezel with the red GMT hand. If you're not familiar with the blue military bezel: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=52069

Lots of interesting GMTs out there

Redid the lume for a little more vintage look.

Enjoy!

Where did you get that bezel? teeth looks great!

 

[boostin20]

It's the stock mbw bezel. The case was bought back when mbw was in business.

Anyone knows if the trevor 1675 hands will fit a DG3804b movemen, o do i have to buy new hands?

 

[txrob779]

If the movement is an a2836 like mine was, NO

 

[eduardor]

Thanks Rob,
Any idea where to buy hands for this movement?

 

[GBOAC]

Well, after following this thread I put my order in for a Trevor 1675.

Good news: It arrived yesterday.

Bad news: It's dead. Not a single tick. Also the bezel is really loose and the insert looks as if It's about to fall out. Not impressed. 24 hours and still no response.

Should of bought a Pam...

If the Trevor 1675 Cartel has an ETA movement the then the hands are not compatible with the 3804B.

Looks great!

Sorry...answered the wrong quote. The Trevor 1675 for $188. has an ETA movement. The hands will not work with a DG3804B.

 

[GBOAC]

Yeah I had to use hands from my parts box

this is a sub bezel, the teeth are cut too deep and too close to the inner most part of the bezel.

if you notice how much of the insert that had to be shaved to fit into the bezel.

yes, very nice teeth but not really for the 1675.

nice watch regardless boostin

so this is a sub case with a gmt dial and other goodies?

Yes, the all red was seen during this time but was not a mainstay for every model produced (in otherwords not every model was produced with an all red hand). They were pictured on the mk 1-3 dials and were available in particular rolex markets during certain production runs. They were as stated available on the very rare all blue inserts which were military issue, with surplus being given to service centers until they ran out in the late 70's (such a beautiful insert I might add)

Some even debate the all red hands were repainted, and not available in form from rolex. When asked rsc never confirmed nor denied their existance, this is hearsay however and you never know what is true and what isn't.

If you are referring to me, it's not a sub case (according to the builder). He told me it was a old-school 1675 case and bezel. I believe him since the thickness of the case and the points where the bezel sticks out from the case are very close to a gen.

I see, I only said it looks like a sub case since the cgs are very thin and pointed like the ones on a sub. If you look at the bezel on most 1675's they look like this if they are in good shape, others will not be as deep as the one in this pic.

Compare you're cgs to a gen PCG and SCG and you will see what I mean along with the bezel, like I said its a nice build but not really the same for the 1675.

Wasn't trying to knock the watch bud so please don't take it as that.

 

[Rick914]

Looks alike my non-cartel case GMT with a better dial.

Ah...the long awaited news....and it's good news too. AWESOME Brother.
Kudos on the discovery process :thumbsup:

I took zero offense to that; I'm just regurgitating what the builder told me, and what i see. What you are mentioning has bothered me for a while now, and I'm going to remedy it here soon.
