Aftermarket hands if they had not been specifically adressed in the description of the piece would cause me to question the quality of the service, the seller and all the papers that accompany the watch. If I could not hold and inspect the watch and take a look under the hood I'd rather pass

David you make some good points. Anything aftermarket causes me concern as well. Thanks everybody! This proves what a great resource TRF really is.

That explains why the bracelet does not fit flush against the lugs and case. I questioned him several times about the bracelet and he insisted it was original. He flipped open a rolex book looking through it to try and confirm the proper bracelet. I'm not a vintage person by any stretch but I was not certain the oyster lock was available on a 1968 GMT. Another great catch guys! Thank you. Sounds like it is way overpriced and misrepresented.

I think I'll keep searching. Any reputable vintage dealers recommended? .
