That's awesome. Mind if I ask where you found that watch? How long did you search? Amazing to see a NOS like that.

Very Beautiful
You will love the vintage and modern traits of your watch - and how it sits on your wrist. I have the same watch (8.6 mil) that is my daily wear - love the feel of it on my wrist.

And again, congrats!
The majority of vintage GMTs around are 1675's or 16750's. There are many different varieties within these two references.

It is extremely rare to find a watch that age, unworn and in that condition. Very rare find and very nice watch. All original, just really nice.
