The magic of a brown dial, nipple indices, alpha hands, and lacking crownguards. If my memory serves me well, 1962 is the last production year, for these no crownguards gold GMT MASTER. How alluring they are! Thanks to Bill to have allowed me to take thes...  

Nice!

I feel the need to comment on the strap as well, which is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly paired with the watch. M4

This is one really magical 1675. Wow!

The strap looks a little "aged" as well, superb combo.

Fantastic watch Nicolas, and congrats to Bill for this finding!... No doubt he is...

And the 6542 in steel and gold has only been produced in what? 3000 pieces during all its life?

How many 1675 Gold No crown guard ever produced?

Thanks for your insight. Do you happen to know how many pieces 1675 like the above watch ever produced?

If I was to hazard a guess i would say.

The Rolex 6542 and 1675 no crown guard in 18k gold are equally rare and the production years equally as short. One of the earliest 1675 no crown guards seems to be around serial 900k and the latest around 1.7 mil serial but very few seem to have been prod...
