Rolex GMT MASTER 1675 Gold, No Crown guards circa 1962.
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 these pictures of his watch.
Best,
Nicolas

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

... a man with an exquisite taste! Love the matching set of straps chosen for this marvel! Cheers! Abel.

Depends. A gold 6542 is not common, either.
And the 6542 in steel and gold has only been produced in what? 3000 pieces during all its life?
