I'm interested in purchasing a birth year GMT from 1968. The piece should have the following characteristics:

1) Dial should be all original Matte Mark 1 in great condition. Long E in rolex
2) Acrylic top hat crystal should look nice and no chips
3)Case should not be corroded or have pitting
4) Engravings should be readable and not re-engraved
5) Serial between 1.7 to 2.0
6) Date wheel should be silver with open 6's
7) Pepsi insert should be original, not trashed, NOS acceptable
8)Caseback dated for '68
9)Case can be polished, but correctly, chamfers visible, thick lugs
10)No relume
11) Hands original and matching patina to dial
12) Bracelet 7836, a rivet C&I or swiss 7206. But not a deal breaker.
13) B&P not necessary - but nice to have obviously

I can work between $4500 and $6000. I can only work with a CONUS deal as I am not experienced with foreign purchases.

This will be my first purchase from TRF but I am willing to gain your trust for a transaction if we can find the right piece. I do have a watchmaker who is going to go through the watch for me once I purchase one so I will abide by the 3 day return policy.

Thanks,

Pete
