A Firework of Vintage GMTs.
Well, it is maybe a bit exagerated, as there are only 5 of them, while there are much more Vintage Rolex GMTs.
But 5 of them is already a nice score.
Here they are: 6542, 1675 Gilt Chapter Ring Cornino, 1675 Gilt Square Crownguards, 1675 Mini Dial, and 1675 Matt Dial.

Just to give you an idea of what is missing, here:
6542 Service dial OCC.
6542 Service Dial SCOC.
6542 no Exclamation Swiss Dial.
1675 Exclamation Dot Dial.
1675 Underline Dial.
1675 Serpico Y Laines.
1675 Tiffany.
1675 Military ( FAP / U.A.E ... )
1675 Red Arrow 24 Hours hand.
1675 Blue Bezel.
16750 Matt Dial.
16750 Circled indexes.
16760 Fat Lady.
Collecting Rolex Vintage GMTs is a thema which needs more than one life, I fear.
To be followed...
Best,
Nicolas.

...more than one life...for Vlad it is not a problem
;) Cheers and thank you for this delightful late evening post Best D
I would have to sell all my stock of garlic to achieve this theme. <<
and I didn't even mention some pure pearls such as the Red 6542... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Suberb!! Beautiful gmts...
Hopefully soon i could get the 6542 or the 1675 with ! Mark.
Very nice selection of Classic Vintage Rolex GMT 1675
I am curious about the square crown guard. To be honest I am not familiar with it. Do you mean less polished with edges or Square in the sense of the model before the the pointed. I guess we learn new things everyday. A+ Bill
Great collection
Great picture and great post. Looking forward to following this post and learning more information about these classic GMTs. V/R Mike
Square as the model AFTER the pointed, Bill.
It is not like the Tudor 7928 which first came with square crown guards, a very elusive watch, but like the 5512/13, which first came with pointed crownguards, then, since the end of '63, early '64, with square crownguards. Mine, I mean the gilt dial, is ...
Ah, the GMT!
Very nice set of GMTs! Your picture beautifully illustrates the diversity of this model! Up until recently I was not that much into GMTs. Ok, I always had one in my collection but did not wear it much. Then I got my 16760 some months ago and that quickly ...
As you said, you think they are not that attractive, then you get the bug.
Well, I always had the bug for this watch, since a certain TV series called " Magnum ". I was 14, at this moment. Since, the GMT was my dream watch. And as you could see, I am hunting others... Can't wait to see what you found, but from what I've read, it...
Another missing link...
1967 transitional watch with "long E" matte dial and "small arrow" 24hrs hand ...
amazing stainless steel collection man...
...now is the time to seek for a Gold NoCG Alpha hands ;) compliments! ciao, chris
What a fantastic display! :)
With friends like you and Baron... Who needs enemies to torture you?!! ;) Best, my evil friend Blomman
Hey, my friend! Long time no speak!
I was thinking about you, this morning, as I was viewing some of your pictures in my hard disc! Hope all is well, and thanks for the kind words. Nicolas
Very nice
I would call that an explosive collection Nicolas! ;) What about a GMT Master with a white dial? I know they existed in very small numbers. Have a great weekend! Edmond
Are you sure the white dialed 6542 existed? I am far from being sure, my friend.
But tha,ks for your kind words! Best, Nicolas
Pretty sure
Nicolas- If you read my message carefully I just said 'white dial' GMT. I didn't say it was a 6542 ;) And while your never really sure with Rolex, a friend of mine who is I would consider a reliable expert did mention he has seen a white dialed GMT. Best ...
Wow!! That is a stunning collection of GMTs!
And quite of list what is still to chase!! That makes my 'little' wish list of desirables look quite small! ;-) Lovely photo. Cheers Tony
Well, the list is longer than the collection, and I am not sure
I will go till the end, but at least I have some goals. ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas
5 Only?
That is more than enough for most of us here Superb examples of the GMT.. I won't be surprised if you add more from the list in your collection Sam
Well, Sam, I would like to.
Some are easy to hunt, like the 16 750. Some others are much more complicated: The Military GMTs, which is a true mine field. But, in any case, this is such a great theme that the hunt is really pleasant. Yes, I am a GMT addict! Best, Nicolas
I'd love to see
How you complete your GMT quest.. I guess a military one would top your collection nicely Sam
Superb collection my friend! Would make happy to the most...
Demanding collector! GMTs are watches which grow on you. I owe you my discovery of this type, to my eyes obscured by my love for the Sub. I had assembled a liitle collection of GMTs myself now, which makes me so happy. I really enjoy to wear my GMTs! Will...
Can't wait to see what you got, Abel, my friend.
I know your taste, and I am pretty sure we will be delighted to see the outcome of your hunt! Un fuerte abrazo, Amigo mio. Nicolas.
Our memories are the same Nicolas..........
I also remember watching Magum and my eyes would always be drawn to his GMT. The two coloured bezel matched with dial & hands just looked so perfect :) Superb collection so far, but I guess that it may take a few more years & trial to clinch your ...
