Really like that version of matte GMT dial...
...almost like the dial manufacturer mistakenly used a gilt dial outline to create it. The lume placement is similarly away from the edges/toward the center.
Very cool & enjoy, T. P.S. 5 million case serial #? |

It's a 3.9 million serial and actually a tritium dial. The dial manufacturer is "Beyeler" which could explain the difference with the dials "Singer" manufactured. |

It is interesting the way Rolex changed the dial on the 1675. There are indeed quite a few variations.
The smaller inset markers are very interesting. I wish there was some official explanation for that. I doubt that the dial makers would have done this off their own bat. I suspect that Rolex issued instructions regarding the positioning and the size of the markers on the dial. I guess we will never know.

That's right Mike, pretty rare as it's not seen very much.
I was lucky to have handled one, and have it on my wrist in September, and let me tell you it was mesmerizing. Fell in love instantly. |
