I've read the instructions in the Valuations/Sales and "What's It Worth" post, I hope this post isn't breaking the rules, and that the content qualifies as a basis for a learning experience.

I am trying to determine the value of these GMT Master 1675 parts. I've been looking through ads here, on Chrono 24 and VRM and have concluded that I simply don't know enough to determine value, as they seem to sell for a range from practically nothing to thousands and thousands depending on condition, font, production year and seemingly many other factors.

I could really use some help figuring out what I've got here.

First up is a dial. The text is a bit worn, it appears one of the hands may have rubbed against it. The lume is yellowish with dark splotches, and the dial is a bit bubbly close to the edges.

Then there are these hands. The lume on the GMT hand matches the dial lume pretty well, but the others have a greener lume that has cracked.

The bracelet is a 78360 with 580 end links which I consider to be in good condition with little or no stretch.

Lastly, there's this Pepsi insert.

Could anyone give me some guidance on what the items are, such as probably production year, common names of dial or insert or if these are service parts or not? I'm aware the pictures aren't great, but I'd be happy to try to take new photos of specific areas of interest.

I suspect this post is breaking the rules. Spend some more time on VRM

I've made peace with the fact that it may disappear without a trace.

I'd love to, but I've already spent hours and hours researching, I simply don't have more time to put into it.

I'm not liking that green lume..

I wish you well. I have the same problem - a $36 dial vs. a $3900 dial. You can spend weeks on it.

Where I live, I’ve resorted to a 50 year employee of Rolex who charges reasonable rates for good advice. You need to find your version of that. Great investment and entertaining.

Figure out the value, multiply by 10, post ad on TRF, then act indignant when you're offered anything. Apparently that's how Rolex parts and accessories works. Good luck!
