Here are a few photos of the 1967 GMT sold at Marshall Field's that I purchased over a dozen years ago from the original owner's family. Sold through Marshall Field's and serviced through their contract watchmaker. (Marshall Field's was a high end department store purchased by Macy's approximately 15 years ago.)

Wow! That's a stunning 1655 set! Congrats!
And since you asked .... Here's my 6263 set, 6.05 serial. Original sold at an AD called Slavicks in LA on Jan. 22, 1982, which means this Daytona sat around for awhile before selling. |

My key takeaway as well
I believe that back then the high-end jewelry sections at those stores were concessions (even though receipts would have been printed on the store's paper stock). Marshall Fields, up until the Macy's takeover, still sold Omega at many of its stores. |

Also interesting “fun fact” from that paperwork: Sutters also used to be the Chicago independent RSC until it lost trust status around 4-5 years ago. Quite a fine set there! |

I wonder if Neiman Marcus and Saks also sold Rolex back in the day?

Thanks for the kind words Jeff, and to all the others that left comments in this thread. Also, thanks Aaron (swish) for the photos of your gorgeous Daytona 6263 post and thanks to anyone else contributing photos of their vintage sets.
Anyone sets out there? Post them up.
