1675 dial clarification

[The_Walrus]

Selling has described this as a MK1.
The text doesn't seem bold enough to me, particularly the bottom halve of the dial.
Clarification from the experts would be appreciated.

check Orchis thread, it should prove helpful It's not a MK1 in any case!

Looks like an ebay watch. The dial for the serial number range should be a Mark I. The dial on the watch is a variation of a Mark V. Here is a post on this dial. https://rolexvintageforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=141

Edit -

I see the watch is on ebay. Insert is not correct either for 1967/68. As far as the red hand goes, it's anyone's guess whether it is original or a repaint. The watch is not properly described.

Pieced together:

Case is good and correct serial for year,
Dial and hands are good but much later looks like a MKV, (nice patina though)
Red hand is aftermarket, and relumed,
Insert is good but later as well.

Probably worth $5k, 5.5 max if you want it for prts and to source correct pieces.

Certainly not MK1

For GMT 1675 Matte..
mk1 is long E.
mk1 likely wont come with the red GMT hand either (tho its nice!)

Gotta say when I was doing my research I read Orchi's thread and its kind of all over the place and not organized. Also, Orchi is banned, not sure why.

Springer sent the link https://rolexvintageforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=141 which I found to be very tidy and to the point. A superior reference.

Most of the genuine, original GMTs that I have seen with the all-red-hand are from the later 1960s. Since it is "vogue" to have one now, they show up often on later models especially circa 1973-1975. My 2 cents, many are being added without regard for originality.

I was wondering the same thing.

Here is a thread relating to Orchi's ban. And thanks everyone above for your input.
