Never say never
This is something I noticed quite frequently in watch collecting.
The colored gold Rolexes reminded me of 80's styling for a long while but I've been looking with more appeal to two-tone or full gold Submariners and GMTs lately.
Another proof that taste can evolve as time goes by, as long as we come across interesting watches.
Cheers, Mark
Rolex GMT Master 1675 Gold, Concorde. Only Idiots never change their mind.
A provocative title, for a huge revelation, and a very interesting watch. Yes, I am not a fan of colored gold watches, but you know, here, at PuristSPro, we have many evils as friends, who are always willing to widen your horizons, and feed your appetite....
Very true
Nicolas - thank you for sharing. I had a similar experience with gold. But in life you learn, try, learn some more and then realise that what you once thought unacceptable and not fitting with your style, values and perception actually fits quite well if ...
Bill is the champion of surprise. And he knows how to wear this one.
Thanks for your feedback, Edmond. Best, Nicolas

I am shocked
Gold... and full gold moreover ! You ! :) GMT in Gold is super cool, especially that brown/bordeaux one. Same for the 1680 in Gold, it is as extreme as it is cool imho. Special pieces, a Gold GMT simply make sense for your love of GMTs. For the full Gold,...
Hi, Francois...
Yes, maybe it is due to the fact that GMT Masters are among my fav watches, maybe because I started this hobby with a GMT Master... But honestly, I couldn't expect such a positive reaction, once on my wrist... I was thinking that it was maybe time for me ...
Very kind review my dear Nicolas
I went throught the dame thinking ad uou and many of friends here. I found like you tgere is room for a gold Rolex in one's collection. I liked this one for two readons the gmt side which as Nicolas is one i love and the second was the rare wuality of thi...
YES!
Expanding your horizon is forward momentum and positive growth! The more I study GMTs, the more I prefer the original GMT, and this example is truly amazing, the 'Concord hands' from what I have come to learn, but also too, for me, the round gold indexes ...
The devil is in the details...
The devil being of course, Bill for showing and enticing you with this most charming and rare, GMT, Nico. The details, well, a stunning gold GMT! Maybe one day soon we can see a wrist shot of yours from that famous balcony in Paris? ;-) Fuerte abrazo, Nic...
I would have no problem....
Wearing this one! :) Uber cool! You see, soon you will ask for a date window....! ;) Best Blomman
Great catch !
the 1675/8 is a very cool Rolex sportswtach, probably my favourite gold watch together with the 1680/8. Enjoy it this summer !
To change of mind and to make it known publicy is of wise people...
... I know that you are not fond of colored gold watches Nicolas, but I was sure that some special one would came some day to make you change that. And believe me: I suspected that a gold 6542 or 1675 would be the one to make the miracle! I like gold GMT ...
Once I will digest my surprise, thenn after a visit at my psychiatre, just to be sure...
I will take one wrist shot... :) Un abrazo, amigo. Nicolas
Lol! That´s a good one my friend! I´ll be looking forward to the classic...
... "most famous balcony in Paris" wrist shot! Lol! Otro abrazo! Abel.
I love this watch
Saw one in the flesh in the recent auctions in NY and it really was phenomenal. The hands are so different from other GMT hands. I wonder how many were made?
The GMT Concorde is a very special watch.
Nicolas, The GMT Concorde is quite rare and was only made for about a year. When I first saw Bill's watch It was spectacular and one day I would love to own this model. Well, time came and Bill had great knowledge, he was very resourceful and helped expla...
Thanks for sharing yours with us, Leon, and congratulations!
Another from 1968. I am curious to see if we'll find some from 1967 or 1969. Best, Nicolas
We have serial range for the Rolex gmt Concorde
Something between 1.7xx,xxx and 2.0xx,xxx so the full range is 300,000 production spread. As for the years it is always hard to say but 1968 falls into the range. But as we know they can be sold at later dates to include 1969. On the early side 1967 is po...
A real beauty your rolex gmt Concorde
It was a pleasure to share my thoughts with you and to be in your company. Hope to cross paths again in the future. Bill
