I could be wrong but I'm thinking the 6542 was still available new in 1959.

If you can find a 1959 GMT 1675 it would be a very early example of what was then a brand new model.

To be correct too, a very early 1675 should (probably) have an OCC dial - they are very difficult to come by.

Good luck though

possible, but a very early pcg. good examples are rare, therefore priced accordingly. good luck with the search and post the photo when you get it for us to drool over :)

Yes, a OCC dial to match my OCD style

a 1959 would be a 6542 not 1675. In 1960 the pointy guard came out

This seems to be correct. All of the first-series "OCC" 1675 models I have seen have had the caseback marked I.60.

If I'm not mistaken even the SCOC dials came out in 1960 when the 1675 pointed crown guard GMT was introduced.

A ridiculously gorgeous example was advertised on one of the other vintage forum classifieds the other day.

Cheers!

Good to know. Now I have to figure all this out. And scrounge up a ton of cash for me my birth year.

jedly1 · 18 April 2012, 08:43 AM

the first gmts are 503*** and 504***.serials..they were it seems probably all manufactured through 59/60 and carry 1.60 casebacks......as with the drsd introduction a few years later its as if they made a massive batch of cases to get ahead and they then dripped out over a few years.

its my observation that 503*** were used first through 1960 and all verifiable ones carry OCC dials ......504*** are used all the way through as late as 62..and can carry OCC and SCOC dials.

You wouldd imagine there will be some 59 watches even if its just pieces used as demo models , show examples etc ...but i don't recall ever seeing one.

realistically 59 = 6542

and truth be told a 59 6542 with the probably legitimately supplied metal bezel rather than the bakelite will probably be cheaper than a 59/60 occ 1675.
