Didn't they say that "no date" GMTs were rare? Nice couple!

Thanks again, Michael - here's another photo/angle - the case appears to be unpolished, and has original chamfers. Also very clean, with no corrosion anywhere. Serial is 845**** The previous owner said he had it for 20 years and bought it from the original owner. He never had it polished and didn't think the first owner did, either. It's had a recent movement service and new case-back gasket and plexi

Here's the case from the back. Then later, my watch-maker opened it up, and all is well inside. Looks like 2 service marks

Beautiful Tudor Karl! You always seem to find the gems. Great case, all matching dial and hands with nice patina and that gorgeous insert. Well done!
