Help with a GMT 1675, 1966 Gilt Date Wheel

[hrag_v12]

Hi,

I want to purchase a 1966 GMT Master 1675 Gilt, no chapter ring. It has closed 6 and 9 and rounded 3.

Is this correct? Or should it have open 6,9,16,19,29 and closed 26 with flat 3?

I thought all 1675 should have open 6 and 9 however the dealer informed me gilt gloss dials should have closed 6 and matt white dials should have open. Is this true?

Thanks for your time!

Your source is incorrect regarding his assessment of date wheels. A 1966 GMT would have the same date wheel as the others through the end of the 1960s.

Here you go, the "hooked 7."

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for my lack of knowledge! I'm a little confused, please help me clarify...so a 1966 Gilt should have the hooked 7 (closed 6) date wheel as in the picture you posted? I was under the impression that all Gilt 1675's should have open 6 date wheels.

Once again thanks in advance and appreciate very much!

My 66 GMT has the hooked 7 date wheel.

Springer is correct, open 6 comes much later.
