Rolex help needed

[pacifichrono]

My friend owns this GMT Master 1675 with a 1.9M serial number. He's wanting to sell it but is asking me for a valuation.

My main question is do the dial, hands, and bezel insert look right for a 1969 GMT Master?

Much appreciated!

Looks like a service dial to me. Swiss only dial specifically.

Almost certainly service hands too.

Looks like service dial and hands, plus the original end links for a 1675 would be either 58, 280, or 580. 558 end links are compatible with the 78360 bracelet, so the bracelet is likely a service replacement as well.

Thanks mates. Thoughts on the bezel insert?

Looks like very hard life!

Far from an expert, but logically a watch that's been used and abused as hard as that one (does your friend not know hammers are also a thing?!), yet has (e.g.) crispy-fresh looking crown and almost unfaded bezel insert, has surely had those replaced as well?

Overall I'd suspect only case, back and movement are original.

Found this randomly. Looks pretty good.

Thanks for all your valuable comments and info - - I will pass them along.

SWISS Only at 6 suggests either pre 69 or well after.
Since it’s not a pcg case, I go for a more modern service dial and hands too.
Strangely the dial looks brown to me.

I think my white balance was on the wrong setting. The dial is black.
