GMT questions
Just recently posted my hello on this site and wanted to give a brief history of my watch. The SS Gmt was purchased used from an AD. At the time it appeared to have had some hard use. It is a serial # 138---- so is 60's vintage. The face was spotted from something and they replaced it. ( Giving me the old face which I did'nt think they did.) They also I believe replaced the bracelet because would'nt a watch of this vintage have the folded links and this one does'nt. The watch also appeared to have a dent in the back of the case, although this has subsequently buffed out. The only things that bug me about the watch are the absense of the quickset feature (it drives me crazy to have to spin the hands every short month). I also like the white gold markers on the newer models. The watch has been to RSC/NY several times in the past 8 years and I probably would not send it there again. It's presently in Naples, Fla at an independent shop who I hope will resolve some issues such as accuracy. Look forward to you comments.
