I am being offered a Rolex 1675 GMT Blueberry complete with box and papers. The watch has the radial dial, red gmt hand and its serial number is in the 5.2m range. I am not so familiar with this variation so if anyone can advice on how i can determine if its authentic will be highly appreciated. Below are the actual pictures of the watch.

If you don't mind pieced together watches - go for it. 5.2 million is pushing it for a radial dial so based on all the other "add ons" found on the watch, the radial dial was also added to enhance the value of the watch. I would bet it originally came with a Mark V dial. Also, I seriously doubt the hands are original too.

Thanks for the input. My exact sentiment: how to prove this watch really had those parts you mentioned when bought new from the AD. Its a big gamble.

If the guy is telling you it was sold from an AD it would appear that he would be very dishonest at best.

Buy the insert, skip on the watch.
