Lovely patina markers on pure white dial. I like this much more than the 550 with whole dial yellow.

Here is a beauty that I acquired lately - a gorgeous, original 1972 GMT-MASTER 1675 with the Mark II dial.

Thanks!
That's what drew me in on this one. An Explorer II wasn't on my radar, and I was looking for a Tudor Sub when this one popped up and was at the same or better asking price than the Tudor Subs I was considering. I'm really glad now that I scooped this one up as I really love this watch. It's my weekender.

I was hoping to see a few more Explorer IIs in this thread, as I know there have to be more like this or with better patina out there.

Sweet GMT and a good idea to bring this thread back.

Just some subtle yellow on this early 60's WG 1803, SWISS only dial, doorstop markers, dagger hands. I think it's rather elegant.

Nice strap!

Any more details on this watch?

I really like the submariner over the depth rating, most are the other way.

You know, John, it's pictures like this that I don't need to see after finally getting over selling my GMT a couple months ago.
Damn you!!!

Comments like that will NOT be tolerated....especially considering that it's a rainy night in New York, I'm home drinking scotch, and looking at watch sites.
