Thank you Nicholas.
Your superb photos and articles are one of the reasons I wanted a 1675.
I own a Speedmaster 105.003 and was proud of the fact that NASA astronauts wore the same.
I later discovered that many of the astronauts bought Rolex GMTs for their personal use.
Therefore the search was on for a 1675 from what I call the Apollo era.

Thanks for the advice and I will continue to enjoy wearing it without worrying about further fading.
