I see no GMT parts on this movement. You might get skinned.   :pimp:

Here is most of what is needed to convert a 1565/75 to a 1565/75 gmt:
#8038 - center second pinion 5.70mm
#8037 - Cannon Pinion 3.39mm
#8039 - hour wheel with double tooth 2.44mm
#8040 - 24hr wheel 1.41mm
#8035 - Calendar Wheel nut
#8036 - Date Jumper
#8006 - Yoke for cam
#8008 - spring for cam yoke
#8011 - stud for cam
#8030 - Center wheel with Cannon Pinion
#8034 - Calendar Wheel
#8011 - Stud for Cam
#7965 - calendar spacer

Q...What is hard to find?
A...All of it.
Q...What is almost impossible to find?
A...#7965 - calendar spacer
#8034 - Calendar Wheel
#8039 - hour wheel with double tooth 2.44mm
7965 usually goes from $200 to $500
8034 usually $200 to $400
8039 usually $200 or so

Sadly in my limited experience, when I bought  something with the idea that it' was a bargain, and then find that a "Few Parts" were missing, It usually ended up costing a lot more in the long run and a huge increase in the frustration quotient. Better to pay more and get the complete movement, save yourself money and grief.

Ditto panerai153. Anyone who followed my Phase II 6542 travails knows what a long, winding & (unexpectedly) expensive road finding a handful of small parts for vintage Rolex calibres can turn out to be. But if you have more time/money than sense or have the (financial) ability to plant a forest to find a few special trees, it might be worth it in the end.
