Rolex Vintage 1966 GMT - Bezel and Dial Question.

[Skipp]

All-
I purchase my GMT about 10 years ago while in NY. I was looking for a vintage Rolex and happened to find a 1675, #1980xxxx. I'd like to know if my dial and bezel are original. The white on my dial is pretty white and certainly not luminus like the hands. For the past few years I've suspected the dial had been relplaced, however, I've noticed on ebay that some vintage gmt's have the "matte finished dial that looks very similar. Also, my bezel is not the classic "Pepsi" color... the red has a distinct pinkish-purplish tint to it and it's unlike any other color I've seen on similar watches. The color has always been the same.. it hasn't faded or changed since I've owned it. Anyway, thank you for your help and insight. Love this site!

your photos are dreadful.

The bezel insert ages ... and this is one of the possibilities, so should not be a problem.

Dial looks to be original, but could have been replaced at service. As long as it is original and matches the hands, and this service dial has the same markings as the original ... it should be fine.

Have you serviced it lately ? If not, take it to RSC for a service - tell them not to change dial/hands/insert ... just do internal service. This will tell you if its original ... because if it isn't, they will tell you.
