WHY THIS WATCH
Today's Rolex GMT-Master is one of the most popular models from the brand. With the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO on jubilee bracelet seeing a waiting list many years long, older models such as the 1657 have become very popular.
The 1675 is the 2nd Generation GMT replacing the reference 6542. The 1675 introduced two key changes to the GMT model. First, the fragile Bakelite Bezel of the 6542 was replaced with an Aluminum insert. Second, Crown Guards were added to the case. These 2 changes made the 1675 the first GMT that could really be worn daily.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
Watch is 2.1m serial number, making it 1969. Case is in overall excellent condition with a lot of meat left on the lugs, see side profile pics. The matte dial and handset are showing light creamy lume points. The pepsi bezel displays a beautiful contrast, with fade on the blue side and less so on the red side, a testament to the different blends of paints used at the time. Rolex contracted out it's bracelet making to the USA in the sixties, so this watch comes on an Authentic Vintage Rolex U.S.A jubilee bracelet with 580 end links.
