Hello All,

I've been looking at a 1675 with a Gilt Chapter Ring Dial but the "GMT-Master Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" print seems different from any other resource I've found. The writing seems smaller and packed in tighter, could this be a refinished dial? I'd appreciate any insights or opinions!

Cheers

I think it goes without say, it'd help if you posted some pictures of the dial.
Cheers

I'm no expert, but the crown, along with the general aspect of this dial doesn't look right.

Something is off, also 8 is off center on date wheel.

Dial has been poorly refinished and is not original.

Thanks for all the responses, helped me dodge a bullet. Michael, Springer, would you mind sharing the tell-tale signs? Seller insists it is not refinished..

Check my GMT dial thread http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=316726

I need to re-write this info one of these days.

I was looking to purchase this same watch, which comes from a supposedly reputable dealer. But like the OP, the writing threw me off:
