Description

Hi folks,

Got this GMT for sale today.

This watch belongs to a dear friend's dad and he is the original owner since he bought new with his first paycheck in 1960s. The condition of the watch looks in very good shape though with a little TLC, this watch can look even better.

Watch was serviced twice in its life at RSC but owner cannot remember the date nor have any boxes nor papers.

The original watch came with the oyster bracelet in full length when bought new and looks in great condition, with the usual (but minimal) stretch.

Crown guard is worth mentioning as this is a pointy CG (highly sought after) and every part of the watch is as original and faithful to its origin as possible. Every single watch part (minus movement parts as Rolex may change the movement parts in their servicing) is original to the watch and not a single part was changed.

Watch dial has a tiny bit of blemish (only visible when it is exposed to strong light at a specific angle) at 12 area. I am not able to take the flaw. But rest assured that this is due to normal wear and tear and not damage due to abuse.

A great opportunity to own a fully 100% original 1675 GMT (even the crystal is 100% original and not replaced) from the original owner without the fear of getting frakened watch.

Sorry for the lousy shots as I took them while I was visiting my friend today and I didn't prepare any tripod, etc.

📖 About This Reference

The GMT-Master reference 1675 is a significant model in the brand's history, representing an evolution from earlier GMT-Master references. It was produced for an extended period, allowing for numerous dial, bezel, and hand variations throughout its production run. This reference is notable for its introduction of crown guards, enhancing the watch's robustness and contributing to its distinct profile. It solidified the GMT-Master's design language, which would influence subsequent generations. This reference features a 40mm case, available in stainless steel, yellow gold, or a two-tone combination of steel and yellow gold. It is powered by the automatic Caliber 1575, a chronometer-certified movement known for its reliability and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The watch is fitted with an acrylic crystal and offers a water resistance of 50 meters, suitable for everyday wear. The bidirectional rotating bezel, typically with an aluminum insert, displays a 24-hour scale. For collectors, the 1675 is highly sought after due to its long production period and the resulting variety of configurations, including different dial types (gilt, matte), hand styles, and bezel colors (Pepsi, all-red, all-black). Its four-digit reference number and acrylic crystal are key characteristics that define it as a vintage Rolex. The reference appeals to those interested in the historical development of the GMT-Master line and the nuances of vintage watch collecting.
