Finally picked up a 1675!
Been on the hunt for one of these for awhile ... Picked her up this morning.. 1970 GMT 1675... Love the MK1 dial!

Very nice, the dial is a Mark II.

Oh! Ha.. What's the difference between the MK1 and MK2?

Below is a full dial shot of a GMT with the Mark I. Also, close-ups of the Mark I and Mark II. The coronet on each dial is significantly different. Also, on a Mark I dial and only the Mark I dial, the three horizontal bars in the "E" in ROLEX are all the same width. On the Mark II, the center horizontal bar found in the "E" in ROLEX is shorter than the other two. There are also some other subtle differences if you compare the two dials.
From my experience, both dials are on par value-wise.

Curious what's different between the two... According to this post, you're correct, mine matches the date range for the MK2 (Mine is a 3 million serial):

Here's mine (2.32m ca. 1969). In addition to the "E" references already made, note the spacing of the three lines on the lower text group. In the Mk1 there's more space between line 2 and 3 than 1 and 2. They are even with the Mk2.
