Rolex

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 16...  

;) Cheers and thank you for this delightful late evening post Best D

and I didn't even mention some pure pearls such as the Red 6542... Best, my friend. Nicolas

Hopefully soon i could get the 6542 or the 1675 with ! Mark.

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 picture and great post. Looking forward to following this post and learning more information about these classic GMTs. V/R Mike

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 ...

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 ... 

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...

...now is the time to seek for a Gold NoCG Alpha hands ;) compliments! ciao, chris

With friends like you and Baron... Who needs enemies to torture you?!! ;) Best, my evil friend Blomman

No message body

Great to see them together

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

I have one missing link: 1675 PCG swiss exclamation dot Matt ...  

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

But tha,ks for your kind words! Best, Nicolas

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 ... 

here's one in my hands some years ago.... ...  

good eyes Chris !

And quite of list what is still to chase!! That makes my 'little' wish list of desirables look quite small! ;-) Lovely photo. Cheers Tony

I will go till the end, but at least I have some goals. ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas

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

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

How you complete your GMT quest.. I guess a military one would top your collection nicely Sam

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... 

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.

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 ...
