Beautiful! Please tell us more about the dial, I haven't ever seen a "Swiss" only marked dial on a PCG 1675, must be an early one.

I swapped it out before I handed it over, just in case they went mental on me and changed it. They had very strict instructions not to mess about to much with it and to be fair, they contacted me every step of the way to let me know where they were at, which they've never done before. I think maybe because I expressed VERY VERY clearly its my baby. So I gave it to them with what you see on it now, just in case they forgot. |

The dial is gilt gold with long minute markers with 'SWISS' at 6 o'clock between the minute marker whereas early 1675 dials that had SWISS were outside the minute track. Note also the absence of the hyphen in "Oyster Perpetual". According to Mondani Rolex GMT Master printed 2011 this is a possible protoype dial. The GMT hand is looking a bit worse for wear, the case is a little bit over polished (before I got, the swines), but she's my baby and I her so.
