This is just Sick!

FedEx arrived an hour ago and brought me this 1978 GMT-Master 1675 with the nipple dial. It's even better than I hoped.
It's damned near perfect! Took my breath away when I opened the box. Plus it came with both boxes, the booklet, and
the warranty with the punched serial number, dealer name, etc. Just need to get the bracelet sized tomorrow.

Here are a few quickie photos:

That would be nice to have since it was made in my birth year. Looks like my new version of the GMT will have to suffice for now. AWESOME GMT you acquired there!

Very impressive! I'd be hesitant to wear that piece. Maybe you should keep it on display, rather than risk damage?
