Congrats man... gorgeous! What are the particulars?
It is stock from MR! Literally picked it up from the post office at lunch. Incredible buy at like 200 USD.
Nice! Worth putting some thinner hands on the subdials. Something I did with my pre-Daytona.
Picked up a vintage snowflake recently. I wasn't big fan of the insert that came with it. I then bleached and sanded it. And then I was even less of a fan. So I got a Yuki insert, and replaced the crystal with a Clark plexi.
Got a little help from @Hugop and @jdog111578 so thanks again!

I am leaning toward the Jean Claude. Totally classy Rolex and an icon of 60's ski racing. Great combo when you think of it.Jean Claude Killy or Tiffany Newman? [emoji848]

I've been picking up the Killy more too. It's a tough call because I'm a Daytona guy but I can't resist the color

This one is currently with @black_shark getting a few little modifications! 
Correct hands but to dark...My Fault
Lighter hands but to long and I might have screwed the movement putting them on..Live and Learn!

pointed crown guards from the 1962 era "In some of the earliest days of the 1675, we saw the use of pointed crown guards alongside chapter ring gilt dials. Nicknamed the “El Cornino” by collectors for its horn-like appearance, it featured a curved profile that pointed towards the crown. The Cornino lasted only from 1959 to 1965/1966, making it a rarity in today’s market." Nice article here: http://www.woundforlife.com/2015/03/13/under-the-loupe-rolex-gmt-master-1675/
