plz give some feedback on my recently purchased 1675 gmt master
Recenlty purchased this GMT Master 1675 yr.1966 ser.14xxxxx.. It looks like the dial,hands,bezel Have been replaced..

Yes dont change anything, it is perfect like that.
Price was good, especially in that condition, I wouldnt go replacing with older dial and hands, you will never find any that match correctly and will make it worse

For me, and many vintage collectors, most of the allure and value is in originality, especially the dial. A 1966 1675 would have had a gilt dial originally. To collectors, it it of course worth less now than a good one in original configuration.
You have a very nice GMT which has apparently been well serviced, so congrats and enjoy. The service dial will likely not gain patination, as the lume is Luminova, not Tritium, and it takes decades with Tritium. A good gilt dial and matching hands will be rather expensive and not so easy to find. probably easier to buy another watch, and more cost-effective. |

Yes, yes and a lot (no exact number as it depends on how long you are willing to search, it is difficult to find a matching set and your year would probably be small GMT-hand, which is extra expensive). Keep it and enjoy it, looks great!

good for another 40 years. Wear it and don't worry about it. Find a real gilt dialed watch if you really want. Cheaper to buy the entire watch than the parts usually. M

Price is good. You have a nice daily wearer in vintage form. I would be happy with that.
