1969 GMT Master, what makes it more collectable

In 1971 Dad gave me a GMT Master that has 1969 as the production year.

Does the long E in Rolex, the Swiss wide letters at the 6 position, hooked 7's and closed 6 make any positive difference compared to other examples?

Welcome to the forum. Take some time to look around the vintage section to learn more about the reference.

And original period correct fuchsia insert is definitely collectible on mark 1
