Cracking was found on the glossy dials during the mid to late 1980s and can be found on the GMTs, Submariners and other models as well. My guess is that the paint was applied too thick or there was some type of unwarranted reaction with the solvents/paints used in the mix. Below are photos of a couple cracked "spider" dials - a GMT II 16760 and a GMT 16750.
