1959 OCC 1675 GMT Master

[Cheld]

A local general-purpose estate jewelry store has this 1675 for sale. I'm hoping to get some advice on what a reasonable price would be for it.

From examining it and speaking with the store's watch expert, these are the particulars:

1959 GMT Master 1675, Pointed Crown Guards
Original 1565 movement
Original "OCC" gilt dial
Original bezel and insert
Large 24 hour hand would likely be a replacement as OCC 1675s still had the small hand
Replacement 1991 (P) 93150 bracelet

It appears all the Hands have been changed.

Looks good to me... the seller has represented the piece fairly... its an early example as it is not "superlative" (OCC) so probably circa '59-60, would need serial # to be sure, but probably OK.

Deduct for the bracelet and GMT hand... more/better pics if you want more certainty from the community here.

Better pictures would be needed but as it stands an OCC dial GMT is a very rare thing. Case looks good for a 1959/60 watch as well. Sourcing hands would be tough but worth it if it all checks out ok.

At the very least get the small arrow hand which can be still b acquired at around 1k depending on condition.


I blame it on autoconnect.

Later hands, insert and bracelet. Dial looks relumed as we can’t see the surroundings around the indexes. Perhaps just the picture but it does look messy.

Later insert? Please let me know why this doesn't work, does it have to be fuchsia or copper? Thanks.

I was going to suggest the dial was resumed as well based on my limited exposure to these. Good to know I’m on the right track

Type of font and style on text, triangle etc imho. This is a 70’s insert.

Was also thinking this based on that photo.
