Need help in dating my Rolex

I am trying to determine approximately when I actually purchased my GMT Master. The "numbers" I have found in the case are:
Ser # 3113537
Model # 1675
Movit # D943495
Cal 1556
The only time frame I seem to have is somewhere between 1974 and 1978 and I purchased it new.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

It should be made between 1970-1971 form the serial number list.. but is just an approximate number...
It could have been sitting for a while at the AD...and then you bought it from 1974-1978...
Hard you know when you purchased the watch.. the serial only shows when the case was stamped...not sold...

That serial is from 1970/1 but still possible you bought 1974 and the movement would have been cal 1575 the cal 1556 is a early daydate

I was going to say "buy it drinks," but then I read the actual thread!

Sorry, Joe, I know you haven't posted much, but I couldn't resist!

You beat me to that one, David. I know many on here sleep with their watches, but is it necessary to date them first?

All of them like to make time, but some never have the what it takes to actually 'date.'
