Funny how a small detail can change a watch, Robert.
And with Rolex, all is in the details.
Look at the Subs, or at the other GMTs... They all look similar, at first glance, but they are really different.
Can't wait to see your pics of your 1675!
Best,
Nicolas.
Some quick thoughts on a very special Rolex 1675, the Radial Dial.
Call it " Radial Dial " or " Mini Dial ", it is a very special GMT we have here. Why is is this special? Look at the dial. While, on a normal matt 1675, the indexes are big and almost touching the minute indexes, here, the luminous indexes are centered, t...
Very interesting...
how the changes you describe can change the feel and look of the watch so significantly. Congratulations on your new find. It looks in fantastic condition. Regards, Richard.
Is this another one?
Wow,you have it pretty much covered on these vintage GMTs. A very nice addition I must say.Is this it or is there one more? Big congrats! Best fernando

Great 1675
Love your post, Nico. I have seen references to a radial dial but never knew what the differences were when compared to a "normal" 1675 dial. You highlighted the nuances of the radial dial perfectly and I look forward to reviewing your future 1675 posts! ...
Here is a photo of my "new" vintage 1675
I am digging the patina on this dial! Almost tropical; very warm in the frigid city of Chicago where I am right now! Cheers, Rob...
Very nice example, Robert.
You're absolutely true, there is so much to dig, when it comes to Patina! Is the YG Nipples yours, too? Best, Nicolas.
That's a Personal Question :-)
My nipples have never been called yellow gold . . . Yes, Nico,. The yellow gold GMT and Sub I just posted a few minutes ago are mine! What do you think of all-gold watches? I never had one and now all of the sudden have two! I think the Sub in particular ...
that radial dial is very attractive
not normally fond of the rolex face, but the subtle details on the radial dial render it very attractive. thanks for sharing! J
