An old GMT

I just love gilt dials. Back in the day when you could have any bezel color you wanted--as long as it was Red&Blue. LOL!

Very nice! The small 24hr hand isn't something you see everyday.

Thats a great watch and picture Mike,I believe the original first glossy black dials with the gilt text and with the inner minute chapter ring. Had a little luminous dot beneath the 6 o’clock baton and was present on the very first models only. And is now known among collectors as the exclamation mark dial.And with the lack of the T<25 script on the bottom of the dial, indicated that it was a early radium model. But myself have only ever seen one, but that was some time ago.

That's really the only way I like the pepsi. Acrylic crystal, no bezels around the hr markers, simply beautiful.

Does anybody know where I can find an original dial for my '63 GMT? My dial is refinished and I want to replace it.
