Marlon Brando's Rolex 1675 to be auctioned.
This GMT MASTER 1675 is quite famous, as Marlon Brando wore it in the movie " Apocalypse Now ".
The most famous detail: Marlon wore it without its bezel...Which gives the watch a very special look.

It will soon be auctioned. No doubt that for most of us, it will be unreachable. But we can always admire and dream, for free.
Here it is:

the story behind the missing bezel:
a member of the production crew found the Rolex too flashy for a rogue officer, so Brandon removed the bezel too make the watch less recognizable and said" if they are looking at my watch, then I'm not doing my job as an actor". The bezel is still AWOL! (...
The Colonel Kurtz ...
... as many Rolex have got a nickname. That is a top, top collector's item!
I think it looks weird and ugly with the bezel.
It’s obvious that something is missing here! Just my personal opinion of course Thanks for sharing Nico!
