++ Love them GMTs ++

Hi guys,


some weeks ago I had the chance to purchase a watch I never gave any compliance before. But when I saw this sweet little thing in the sunshine I was so f***ing amazed from this dial I could not help! I just wanted it!

I really like to share some pics with you guys. Hope you'll enjoy them:

Love them GMTs and specially my new beauty!!!













.....in the sun:








.....and some pics after having changed the insert to a FF:













Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Have a nice day!

Sebastian

Thank you guys for all the kind words!

For those who are interested in some details:

It's a 1.29 Mio. serial (beginning of 1966) GMT 1675 gilt dial with small GMT hand. Reference and serial are clearly visible.
Dial is near to perfection. The golden letters are as golden as they can be! Absoluetly stunning to me!!!
Bracelet is a 7206 with 58 end links, matching to the 1675s delivered in these years. The date wheel is with round 3, closed 6 and 9 and also the beautiful hook 7.
The patina of the dial and hands is simply stunning and matching.
The luminous material (tritium+?) is still glowing in the dark, common for watches from this time.

Please correct me if I'm wrong:
As far as I know the 1675 gilt non chapter rings with "normal" crown guards has only been produced from the year 1964 (beginning) maybe end of 1963 until the end of 1966.
So there have not been produced many examples of this combination. Many dials have been damaged over the years or have been changed to matte dials during service.


Think you can imagine/hear from my written words that I'm really really proud and happy!!!


3 more pics...

the crown guards look un touched. I owned the same exact watch and was not even close to looking that good. Just beautiful.
