Rare GMT Master OCC

I'm trying to get more information on a GMT Master OCC made approx. 1959-60. I'm having trouble getting info about the serial number 503655. I have attached a photo. The bezel was replaced about 30 years ago and the band is not original.

For more complete information from the experts here (not me! hahahah.) you should add more and better photos. Inside of the case for the movement and any potential dates stamped into the inside of the cover plate. Close ups of the dial because you are blocking some pertinent characteristics. Place hands at 10:00 and 2:00. Also shots of between the lugs at 12;00 and 6:00. Impossible to tell from this one badly cropped pic but does it have pointed crown guards? Check this out for serial number ranges: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=54362

We can’t see enough detail in these pics to give an accurate answer. Take it outside and get some good pics of the dial straight on and from both sides slightly angled. The case appears polished, but still not enough detail of lugs or crown guard to fully assess the dimensions.

It looks like that serial puts it right in the accepted range for these dials.

The OP doesn't seem to have any new questions.

I dont understand why the OP is back with the exact same pictures as his last thread from a couple years ago. Most questions were answered in that thread and again people there asked for better pictures as well.

Agreed. Better pics were requested a couple years ago, so if OP really wanted help... how hard is that to provide? I personally think we should all stop wasting time with this one, since there's a lack of follow-up.

Seems like the OP is fishing for a buyer.

I thought that at first, but in the previous thread he talks a lot about the sentimental value of the watch.

Sentimentality has a price too!
