Acquired a GMT 1675 Gilt

After closing the deal on the 6542 GMT red, my collector friend called needing some quick cash to buy a 5513 Gilt. He offered one of his GMT 1675 gilt for a price that is hard to resist. The beautiful gloss dial has some spider cracking and the lume plots has that nice creamy patina including the hands. I think the bezel insert is a later red back from the 70s. The watch case has evidence of light polishing. Nevertheless, another great addition to my watch collection.

Does anyone know if the 1675 GMT came out with a Bart Simpson dial? I know that both the 5513 and 5512 came out with it in 1966.

No Bart 1675, only subs.
