Hi rep lovers,

Came across this GMT 1675 for sale 2 hours train from my location.

Seller claims that GMT hand was relumed but two things got me thinking so I figured I'd ask the most knowledgeable people I know for vintage pieces.

Dial indices look puffy and not so flat, maybe dial was refinished just like the case?

Also Ive never seen this bracelet before for 1675.

Dial is genuine and lume looks to be original tritium lume.

Bracelet was made for the Mexican market in Mexico by Rolex appointed factory (to avoid import tax on Swiss made bracelets).

Thanks guys!
I'll have a look at the watch tomorrow as the seller is traveling to my town to meet clients. Interested to see this bracelet in the flesh (or the metal...)

The endlinlks do not bear any reference number with this bracelet which I found odd but apparently it's normal for those produced in Mexico.
