questions for my first purchase of a 1675 vintage MK 1 1969

[limym]

good day all. i have been following the 1675 and i finally bought it after saving up some cash. i managed to find a nice piece for myself and i would like to ask for some help with fellow vintage lovers. i have sent this for authentication with 3 different vintage watch shops and all 3 have told me it is authentic with the correct period date. may i ask what else am i missing?

from what i have researched on.

i am missing

1) an outer box. which would preferably be the seahorse box or the white with a strip of green rolex box

2) red tag

3) GMT booklet dated 1969 and below

4) calendar & cigarette card

may i know what else i am missing and what else do i check for my particular piece? thanks in advance for the guidance and simple tutorials !

Cheers

Need better photos. Insert probably OK but cant quite tell if that is a hooked 22

7 hour lug might be thin or might be photo - but need a lot more than that distant shot

Green hang tag is not correct based on the serial number. Green stripe outer box will work just fine.

There was no GMT booklet back then. It was a single 8" x 11" glossy paper with the information on the GMT found on both sides of the paper. The paper is dated at the bottom corner.

If you have an oval link bracelet, with a clasp marked USA, the bracelet is not correct if the warranty information indicates the watch was sold outside the USA. The correct Jubilee for watches sold outside the USA would be the 6251 Jubilee which will be stamped on a blade found on the clasp with 50 stamped end links.

Hi, which green hang tag would that be during that era?
for the GMT booklet, i understand it is the green world map GMT master pamphlet which i am still trying to source.

for the clasps. i have taken some photos.

thank you for your knowledge and for sharing!

If you google it, you will find photos that will make it clear. Some aftermarket inserts have incorrect printing of the 2s.

These are the tags you need.

The small watch photo was inconclusive enough because of the angle to not eliminate an aftermarket insert.

The two tags posted by Lee Fowler are the correct tags for your watch. I will see if I have a photo of the owner's manual - although it is just a paper and not a manual.

EDIT: Here you go. GMT owner's manual (paper).

[lee fowler]

Mine from 1968.

Absolutely 1970 would be OK.
