Regarding your question njsteve, matte dials on the GMT 1675 ended during 1979. Then, the matte dial era for the GMT 16750 began and continued until early 1984. After that, all the GMTs had gold surround markers. The gold and two-tone GMTs all had gold surround "nipple" markers on their dials from the beginning until around 1984 when the markers were changed to the full size gold surround markers like those on all the other GMT models.

As far as threads on GMT dials go, check the Reference Library here on TRF. I have a thread there as well as a couple other ones.
