Well worth the drive. My GMT is a '65, also. My crown is in the same spot when tightened, too. Enjoy.

I'd get a new crystal and polish that sucker up, but whatever you do, it's all good.

WOW!! Looks fantastic! What a gorgeous all original 65' GMT! You should clean up the crystal though, with some poly watch or something. I can deal with scratches on the case and bracelet but, not on the crystal.

Nice 1965 GMT. The bracelet options on the 1675 in 1960,61,62,63,64,65,66,67, were Jubilee or Rivet. The folded bracelet however was added after as it wasn't made until many years later.
