Gilt 1675
Hello, I recently acquired this Gilt 1675, and wondering the forums thoughts if it is all in good order. Which I should have done before purchasing in retrospect.
Thank you kindly. https://ibb.co/jMf2BK https://ibb.co/gKejQe https://ibb.co/kQnFWK https://ibb.co/bJUUrK https://ibb.co/jybndz https://ibb.co/n0hhBK https://ibb.co/jgcFWK https://ibb.co/dYk2BK https://ibb.co/iEgW5e https://ibb.co/bt6Lyz https://ibb.co/gKejQe https://ibb.co/fnu7dz |

I think its a nice dial, a late Gilt. MK5. Fat font insert...
What's the serial number? It doesn't look like this caseback is stamped. Later folded bracelet and even later endlinks. |

The dial has a lot of minimal spots, but I guess they only can be seen in special lights / angles....
Anyway a very nice gilt ! |

Thanks, the GMT market seems to have gotten ridiculous lately.

Nice watch!
Caseback with 67 is too late in my books. 1.33 Mio should wear a late65 / early66 caseback. But that’s just a „small thing“. |

Thanks do you think there may be some overlap as this is close to non-gilt dials? Do you know if there's a good resource avail for Rolex gmts? Thanks

Mostly I was curious because of how it was sold to me.

As far as parts being original, some parts might be original Rolex but some parts that indicate they were added later include the bracelet, case back and insert. The insert is from the 1980s, the case back should be earlier as well as a correct bracelet being the 7206 rivet or proper USA rivet or possibly a correct Jubilee.
