Trying to understand my GMT 1675 PCG
Hello all,
I'm new here, looking for input on my GMT 1675 with pointed crown guards. -The serial number that I can see is 695,XXX. Surely there must also be (or have been) a "1" before the 6, dating it to 1963? -Based on my amateur on-line research, the dial seems to be the Mark I "long E" dial. Can that be correct for this watch? I'd appreciate any input you can provide. (Sorry the picture is not great.) Thanks! |

Welcome to the forum!
Indeed very tough to figure out with that picture. Ill take your word that it is a PCG. Going on the assumption that it is a serial 695,XXX, the watch would be dated around 1960-61. Obviously all the parts have been replaced along the way, dial, hands, insert.. By the way, if it was a 1.6mil serial, it would date it to 1967. I would recommend you remove the caseback and see what year date stamp is inscribed. |

Looks like a Long E with newer hands and newer insert... also looks like someone turn normal crown guards into PCG with a Dremel

As far as the case goes, I can't tell for sure what is going on with the case.

now I'm concerned...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Now I am getting worried, based on what I have read from you folks. I'm thinking I should have it looked at by someone with more knowledge than I have.
Any suggestions for an expert in London who would be best to evaluate this one? Again, Thank you. |
