Gmt 1675
What do you guys think of this 1675 from 1967? Does everything look correct to you?
I like the aged tritium markers on the dial but the hands look too white and clean and a poor match (probably a later service replacement?). Thanks

Thank you both for your advice. I don't think I'll go for this watch as the hands stick out like a sore thumb to me (pardon the pun). And yes, I had also thought that the bezel looked a little too perfect.
How can you tell its a service dial? Presumably its an earlier tritium service dial?

I invite you to search for '1675 dial variations' and the MK classification. Very interesting and informative read |

Thanks. I suppose that the lack of fading is a give away. Surely a 49 year old bezel is bound to have some fading unless its been locked in a safe?

Looks fine to me for a watch that has been maintained and repaired throughout its life.

Just compared you photo with my 1967 1675 GMT, which I've owned from new, so I know its history, and I agree with everyone else - definitely service dial, hands and bezel - none of those in the pic are original.
