Well the case appears to have been polished quite a bit - it is very shiny and the crown guards seem very worn down. But I am not a GMT expert, so I was hoping to get some thoughts from those that are.
Also, 1970/71 seems a little late to have a small GMT hand, but I suppose it is possible. Again, I would love to hear some expert opinions on this as well as critique on the insert, dial, plots and so on.
Many thanks to all vintage GMT pros for your consideration,
Matt

I didn't notice the bracelet, but the small 24 hour hand made me doubt. When you sell a vintage Rolex, you need to give all the informations you can give. In this case, the year and the quartal are important. Back on the hunt, then! Best, Nicolas
