GMT 1675 questions

Hi mates,

I own a GMT 1675 mk4 from 1978/1979, the date wheel is silver (not brushed) with open 6 & 9. If we refer to https://gmtmaster1675.com/the-date-wheel/ it should be a silver brushed one with round 3 and open 6 & 9 but in any case brushed !

I would like then a confirmation from your knowledge (either opinions or photos of your watches). That would be lovely !

Many thanks for considering my request.

Best !

Hi, would you confirm that the right date wheel for me would be silver brushed with open 6 and 9 but also rounded 3 (which is obviously much more complicated to find than flat 3...)

Hi, I'm still looking for the right date wheel for a mk4 GMT. Could y'all please help? imo it has to be a silver brushed date wheel but my question is regarding the "3", it has to be flat or round?

Many thanks for considering my request which is very specific but very important to me.

Best.
