Gilt 1675
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

With such a case number, it is consistent with 1.67. Now your question is excellent.
1967 is transitional. I mean a transitional period between gilt and matte dials. So, I would not be worried with a gilt from 1.67. Best, and welcome here. Nicolas

For me the text is too fat almost touching the markers
Also this picture exposes the index markers which look more like paint than lume material i.e Tritium for a gilt dial. 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 und...
