This is the last variation of the GMT dial on the 1675 and in my opinion is not a replacement dial. It might have been used by Rolex as a replacement tritium dial, but I believe it was used at the end of the 1675 production. I have seen it too many times on the late 1970's GMT's to call it a replacement dial. Also, it makes sense that this dial is often found on the late 1970 1675 GMT's and continues to be found on the early 1980's GMT 16750.

But, that is just my opinion my friend! Take care Orchi.

Here was my 1970s 1675, I sold it as having a replacement dial but there was a lot of confusion over its originality...I think it was a Mark X?
