1675 GMT information/help/advice

Hello everyone - newbie here, so the more information the better - appreciate it.

I've narrowed down that I want my 2nd 'real' watch to be a vintage 1675 GMT Master with Mark I dial in great condition with nice consistent yellow lumed markers (like the 2 pictured below)

Where are the best places / people to be going through? What should I be earmarking to spend? This is all very overwhelming.

You might find something nice at $5,000, but prices for nice GMT's are considerably higher. I would look more at $6,000 on up. GMT 1675's have been appreciating nicely the last couple years.

Jacek is an excellent seller and frequently has really nice 1675s.
I just purchased a nice 16750 from him and was very happy with the purchase.
I would email him through the forum, or call him.
Good hunting.
Cheers
jimmy

Aside from the For Sale section of this forum, what are some of the better online retailers to check out, so I can get a more concise idea of what I want in a 1675?
