Hello dear fellow friends,

The end of the gilt area of the1675 Gmt's is a tricky thing. Which year? 1966...begining of 1967? Around 1.6xx.xxx serial number? I had the opportunity to see in the flesh, this nice example. Serial number 1.645.xxx. What do you think? Seem legit at your eyes? Thank you, Franck

So, I would not be worried with a gilt from 1.67. 

Best, and welcome here.

This dial appear to have the marking over five indexes (rare version wide swiss) vs over three like the example below which is also gilt 1675 with a 1.6 mil serial.

I don't want to jump to conclusions.  If you have a reputable seller they should tell if there are issues.

The second image shows you an early dial from 1965 which has the swiss T < 5 over five index(s)

Hello Bill,

Thank you for answering. On this better pics you clearly can see that is it over five indexes. On the last picture is it the same dial, of a GMT serial number 1.6xx.xxx from II.67 (find on HQMilton). My question is: on the non chapter ring period, you can find two versions with two subtypes? One Swiss T 25 is spread over yhe bottom 3 minutes hashes, and the second version over 5 minutes hashes? These two subtypes completely overlap 1966 and 1967 production run? Thank you for this learning exchange. Best regards Franck

Pictures are difficult to read vs in person. In person if you loop the dial at an angle you can the gilt writing is indented painted under the black like a little step. From your pictures it is hard to tell. If the gilt is ontop of the black. 

Look at the last pict very close up. Look at the letters how they have a shadow. The gilt is applied first. 

Again sorry for the comments but pictures are not the best way to judge.
