I like the fat font insert and the small GMT hand. Dial isn't bad although not real gilt. It's a shame to see the case still has short and stubby crown guards and the crown is still 6.0 mm instead 5.3.
However an improvement is always welcome :)

These are available in 3 versions, although a Coke insert was never on a gen 1675 from the factory. At $248 with a 2836, this is going to be a bare bones rep. The crystal is terrible but reasonable replacements aren't terribly pricey (Sternkreuz, Cousins, Clark's, etc.) The inserts are pretty nice, no hanging two's but the two's bases are straight and don't follow the curve of the inner perimeter. The lugs have almost no chamfers, which ironically would make this a better case for a 16710 as the 1675 has wider chamfers than the 16710 does. So it does not look like a BP, unless they are sourcing from a different case maker. Dial print and lume look decent, though I wouldn't be surprised if the "gilt" dials looked faded in low light. As mentioned, the CGs suck for any GMT model, and make everything else pretty much moot as they are so bad it's really a dealbreaker.

I have a question. Somebody tried to disassembly it? Can this watch be accepting different bezels like the gen?
