This is a GMT Master, Matte Mark 1 Dial Long E. The "ROLEX" E at the 12 o'clock position on the dial has a long horizontal bar in the middle, so it is commonly called the Long E. This is a feature unique to the Mark 1 dial. The bezel insert is bold, with small circles above the 8 and 18, and is an original type that is horizontally elongated and squashed. The color has faded a little, but it looks good. The hands are also original and tritium. The case is sturdy and comes with a FF280/7836 winding bracelet and a clasp with the year 70 stamp. Of course it's original.
In the case of the 1675 Matte Mark 1, the luminous material on the hands often discolors to a dark color, and many of them are replaced, or remain cracked and look dark and dirty.
Considering all of this, it is rare and pleasing that it has survived in this condition. It must have been well-used.
Why not take this opportunity to get a good one? I know I may be biased, but I highly recommend it.
