The link is blocked for me, not sure what you are expecting.

Link works for me and to help OP, here's the picture...

Not a vintage GMT (or gilt rail dial) expert, and I could be wrong, but I'd say refinished or outright fake.

* The printing/font looks too thick/bold.
* The crown looks "off" to me, even for that vintage.
* The tritium patina/shrinkage looks way too uniform.

One other issue that I am less certain of, but still concerning:

* The GMT hand pointer extends past the chapter ring on most of the ones I've seen of that vintage. Not sure if that should be the case here.

Looks redone, hands are off colour too
I thought the letters on dial were all silver gilt? these are gold

Ther was all gold lettering on some dials. The hands are definitely relumed that I know. Just never came across this particular dial that is why I asked. If it is redone, it was agoof job, especially the regulaeity of the lume.
