I am a little (well, really, very) skeptical. The Chuck Yeager face with a notation "the real McCoy's" and a GMT Master labeled face on an Explorer II just is not right.

The website you mentioned does have some good picts.

Man I wish I could read French. Wonderfull photos!

The blue bezel GMTs are quite a collector's piece! I believe the GMT dial watch with the SS bezel is actually a 1655 made for an expedition. My co-mod. Clifton on another forum did a complete write up on it.
