Incoming...GMT 1675 W/ Correct Fuschia Insert
Thanks to J.T. aka "Springer" for his guidance and a very smooth transaction as I finally land one of my personal "grails". This is a 4mil serial sporting a beautiful and lightly patinated Mark IV dial. Wrist shot to follow upon arrival Tuesday

Beautiful example. Love the insert. John "spinger" is great to deal with and knows his GMT's.
