Taken in the Chilterns?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I have certainly be surprised by how many have been on SC recently. At least 10+ in the last few weeks or so.

Nettlebed, but soon Garvald, Haddington, East Lothian.
Hi,
I have been a member on here for a reasonable amount of time, but only post occasionally.
I am 40, married, have two dogs, live near Henley on Thames, but originally from London, and am...
About £2,800+.
I saw a bone fide 2004(ish) on eBay with a recent full service (new bezel, crown and tube), 78790A solid link/solid end link bracelet, and full B&P go for £3,200.
I bought this...
Rolex (Tudor):
1680 Sub Date
16750 GMT-Master
1675 Brown Nipple
16570 T>25 Explorer II
9401/0 Tudor Snowflake Sub
But at a reported £3.5K, my initial desire, mainly because it's 39.7mm and not 42mm, has dissipated somewhat.
If €2,420 for the "aged leather" version, then I will be reaching for my wallet.
I have seen $5,450 (£3,500) quoted.
I think the OP's is a 1675 and not a 16713 or 16753
Not sure they are that rare, but could be wrong.
I have this coming from NYC:

This is also 1972.
I would go for the old Explorer II (16570) but pick one with a T>25 dial and plenty of patina. Also get a a 78790A (not 78790) solid link, solid end link bracelet.
The 216570 is just too large.
...
I think you mean provenance, not providence.
Sell the YM and buy a 1665 instead. At least you will only need to find an additional £5-6K.
I have a ND Tudor Snowflake Sub, so I bought a 1680 as opposed to a 5513, but either are the perfect Rolex IMHO. Lovely watches, but really only on bracelets.
Having said that, the vintage Subs...

Box but no papers, yet 12 months' warranty.
Note: I have nothing to do with WofD
I voted LV. Had one before, plus you can fit a black bezel inlay to make two watches / looks.
With regards to the 16600, personally I would rather have a matte dial 16660.
For me, there is only the dark brown (or black) Omega genuine alligator padded leather deployant strap. Not cheap at £220+, but great looking:
For me, this is the more interesting watch to recently appear on Blowers' website:

Thanks everyone
Hi,
Does anyone know what is the correct acrylic crystal / plexi glass for this watch?
Thanks in kind,
Alex.
This is worth a look:

Reputable dealer too.
Why buy new?
Check out the white one on Mike Wood's shop / website:

I was looking at this one, but choose another as I wanted a 'no date':
