Opinions on a Gilt 1675

[JustinK]

I ran into this watch today and was not sure if the dial is original. I looked at Springer's post on GMT dials and it looks to be a G - 6 dial. I was told the gilt dial is untouched and it appears to have small bubbles in the finish which I understand is normal. The finish around the center of the dial where the hands are mounted seems uneven. Its as if the dial has a slight slope downward in the finish (its not scratched). I was not sure if this was normal never having owned a gilt GMT.

Its not a perfect watch and would need some work as the bezel is locked up, the hands need to be relumed and the insert is aftermarket. The serial is 1.2 million and he wants about 6K for it. I took the best pictures I could so be kind. :)

To me it looks like a relume.

Both because of the color but also because of the sloppiness of the lume. See for example the 9 o'clock plot.

Sorry my pictures are not the best.

Can anyone comment on the dial being original and what to look for on these dials to verify they are original?

The dial appears to be the last variation of the GMT gilt dials which would be correct for the serial number range.

Thanks Springer.

I have some better pictures to post so hopefully I can find out more about it.

Hopefully these will turn out better.

Any concerns with it? Its actually a 1.4 million serial number.
