1675/3 Nipple Dial

Greetings all,

I'm new to this forum. I am starting my vintage Rolex collections and about to purchase my first vintage Rolex, which is this GMT Master 1675/3. The seller asked for around 8k usd and he also provided some pictures of the watch.

I've read the sticky vintage Rolex buyer's guide but still need some general thoughts and opinions before making the purchase since my knowledge about vintage Rolex are very little.

From what I see, the case has been polished hands may have been replaced, the 1570 movement seems ok to me, and also the bracelet seems period correct. But that's just my opinion.

What do you guys think? should I go for the watch?

Thanks in advance :)

Appears to be a decent watch for the money.

Very nice indeed. Pull the trigger - with a clean dial like that, it should be worth much (much!) more :)
