My 1968 GMT

So my birth year watch...finally with the help of a trusted TRF seller...is starting it journey to me!
What's your opinion of the watch?
One owner, all original parts as the watch came from Rolex.


Regards.

Congrats on your birth year watch, looks great. Is that a full set?
You will need to post pictures in macro mode and also pictures of between the lugs showing the reference et al for a technical opinion.

Very nice watch...congrats. That Bufkor green linen sport watch box was not in use however until the early-mid 70's to the the very early 80's. A box that would have fit into a green strip or seahorse outer box would most likely be correct....I think.

What the significance of the Swiss rivet band this watch has?
Thanks for the education, I appreciate it.
