Help with a 1978 GMT Master 1675

[NickTruswell]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a bit of help on a 1675 from 1978 that I'm interested in. I've posted some pictures below. Could you let me have your comments on the watch's originality, particularly the dial, hands and insert. Watch is with box & papers.

I am a bit of a novice on vintage so I'd like to ask the experts for their input.

Here's what I've managed to figure out for myself;

Insert looks correct with the painted line running through the number 8 rather than between the 1 and 8.

Correct silver date wheel

Not sure on the dial, I thought a 1978 would be in radial dial territory but as I say I'm no expert.

The hands look like a few shades darker than the dial, could this mean on or the other has been changed?

The box and paper's look about right for that time period.

Thanks for your help
cheers
Nick
