1970 Rolex GMT

What is going on here?

Is this a bad case of a redial? Bezel?

Vintage Rolex GMT Master 1675 - NO RESERVE ! ! ! ! !
I have for sale a vintage Rolex GMT Master 1675 with "PEPSI" bezel and original matte dial. This watch was recently purchased by me at a local estate sale and is running and keeping time. I have not worn the watch myself because the band is too large for my wrist and it will not adjust small enough without taking out a link. I would like to keep the watch but do need to sell it to help pay for wife’s college expense (junior nursing major). The serial number of the watch is 2,970,XXX and from my research I believe that puts it at 1970. The plastic crystal has numerous small scratches. The case has one very small inclusion on one of the lugs (at 5:00) but otherwise the case looks good for it’s age. I would think that it does need a good cleaning. The oyster folded link flip lock bracelet has a good deal of stretch to it. We will guarantee the authenticity of this watch as genuine Rolex or return for full refund. I will accept return within 3 days of purchase only if item is not as described. Buyer will to pay return shipping costs. There is no reserve on this watch!!! Insured overnight shipping within continental U.S. is $25.00. Good Luck with your bidding!

...mmmm...

...insert is genuine.

...this watch is VERY USED, and probably would look good once the crystal is replaced. That crystal is CONSIDERABLY worn.

...most likely needs a service as the seller states.

Dial looks original from the pics, so does the watch.

Depending on the picture the dial appears to have..

moisture damage. Again it might be the picture. These dials are easy to pick up at a reasonable price. Again it might be the picture. Can't discount that band either. 9315 with 380 end pieces more than likely. It's worth 500 to 600 by itself.
