FS: --- Beautiful Original 1963 GILT dial GMT in UK ---
Here we have one of the most beautiful gilt dialled GMTs I've seen, and Ive seen quite a few.
This 1.1m serial 1963 GMT has the correct small GMT hand, pointed crown guards, IV 63 stamped inner case back and gilt dial. The dial on this watch is simply mesmerising! The gloss is deep and perfect with no colour loss or marks anywhere. The gilt writing is a striking gold and as sharp as it could be. The minute markers are all prefect and the hour plots have the most beautiful yellow tone to them. If it was not for the tiniest bit of trit loss at the bottom of the 6 marker Id have given it a 10! Hands are the original gilt ones with perfect matching tritium tone to the dial plots and in great condition. Obviously it has the correct small GMT hour hand. The case on this is FAT. It is one of the cleanest Ive ever seen with zero corrosion. The lugs are thick and with polished chamfer edges and the pointed crown guards are nice and fat to. Serial number and model number are clear and readable between both sets of lugs. Plexi crystal is nice and clear, friction bezel rotates smoothly in both directions as it should. The bracelet is a later one replaced at service but the correct GMT 78360 with 580 end pieces and in great condition with very little stretch. The watch was serviced in 2003 and again 2 years ago but I dont have the paperwork. Its keeping good time though as you would expect and you can see how clean the original 1565 movement is! It is currently wearing an all black thick font insert as this compliments the dial so well and it helps it to look cool on either the bracelet or on your selection of NATO strap. This is a rare piece to find in this condition and has been pampered for the last 25 years having been owned by the CEO of one of the worlds largest multi-nationals. High resolution pictures on request. Full refund, less shipping/insurance costs, if not happy and advised within 7 days of receipt. Watch is in the UK and can be seen in person. £8,250 / $13,000 / 9250 euro + ship/ins Lots and lots of international references for both sales and purchases from my personal collection. Email me rather than PM as I never get PM notifications even though its set up for them :( |
