I tried searching everywhere but can’t seem to find this dial on a two tone GMT anywhere. This is the only image available, do you think this is an aftermarket dial or does it appear to be original?

Custom and/or aftermarket. Only a Serti would have been available from Rolex for that reference. Looks pretty nice quality though. I like it.

Great, thank you! Does that drastically impact the value? I’m looking at ~$6500 without box and papers for it.

The bottom left lug looks one polish away from a tooth pick!

Yes, it's aftermarket/refinished. This watch looks to have an acrylic crystal so it would be reference 16753 which was never offered with a factory diamond dial, not even a "serti". Also, if it is a 16753, then the "GMT-Master II" text on the dial is incorrect since it's not in fact a "II".

It would definitely be worth more with the original dial. And the case looks pretty overpolished/soft/rounded too. But if it "sings" to you, $6500 is high but not highway robbery either. I would try to pay a little less.

Great, thanks for your input. I think I’m going to stay away from this one.

That is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.
