IMHO something around the 1.68 Mio.
Mine was a 1.68 Mio. serial and I know 2 others from fellow collectors that are in the 1.67 Mio range.
All in combination with the tritium-zinksulfit-mixture.

My 1,655,6xx

Still glowing! 50 years later; at least for five seconds after bright light exposure.

Some good replies here. Based on my experience, the 1.6 million range is fairly common for a vintage white-lettered GMT dial to have the small 24-hour hand. This would place the case backs in the II 67 and earlier era.

Enjoy your GMTs gentlemen...I know I am!!!
