Dial change 1675/16750 into GMT 16700
Just wondering if anyone could confirm if it would in theory be possible for an Authorised Dealer to install a vinatge 1675 or 16750 matt dial into a 16700? Would this fit, given the difference in these watches. e.g. acrylic v sapphire crystal etc,?
Thanks

Because your watch will not be accepted by Rolex after such a modification. Therefore I doubt ( not sure ) that a matt 1675 or 16750 dial would go into a 16 700 case as these are not the same movements inside. My advice: Even if it is technically possible...
1675/16750 query - parts
Hi Thanks for the reply. I suppose that my main reason for not going for 1675 in the first instnce was their age (youngest appear to be 1980?) and my concern that the older the watch, the more likely over time, that problems will occur - maybe that is not...
