Don’t hate on the serviced 1675. I wish it had everything original, but you should have seen how bad a shape this thing was in before service. The Vietnam war was not kind to this watch. Cracked glass. Gouges in the bezel insert. Dust and dirt. On the dial. Rolex completely overhauled this thing and it looks great now.
The Omega is just an awesome display of modern watch making with totally a cool new color combo. Don’t understand why I don’t see more of these on Reddit tbh.
Would you rather have the serviced Pepsi or the new 75th anniversary summer blue diver 300m?
The 1675...I had one (sold it to buy a APRO), and now have a 16700. Slim case GMT is the only Rolex I'll own, I have no interest in any others.
Not only that, but my dad was a Dustoff pilot, served from Vietnam through the Gulf War, and I still have his Seiko he bought in Vietnam.
Hell yeah. Would love to chat with your dad about the Dustoff sometime. I was too young to grill my grandfather with questions and hear his stories before he passed away.
