·Hi Gang! Now that we have settled in to our new locale in sunny St. Petersburg Fla. we are back-on-the-attack and scouring our immediate vicinity for watch treasure!
Picked up this sad sack of a non-runner GMT yesterday and though I would post some pics in case anyone here could help out identifying the dial. The watch is a 3.3 serial which should be well past the gilt era but is sporting this glossy dial with unusual silver-ish script. So, it's gotta be either a redial or a wrong dial for the watch. Has anyone ever seen a glossy dial with silver script and no white gold surrounds? I hesitate to call it gilt as I haven't taken the thing apart yet to verify if the script is actually below the dial finish surface. However when angling the watch and examining with a loop the script does not stand proud of the dial surface.
Anyways here are some crude snapshots of the poor GMT along with a shot of the wife's BMDubya posing in front of the coolest Art Deco building I have come across so far 😀
