About This Watch

Vintage. Comes with orig. boxes but no paper. This is a highly collectible vintage Rolex GMT Master from the 1970s in luxury halfgold. It is the more desirable variant with a black dial & bezel insert that contrasts exceptionally well. The other variant is the brown version. This watch has just been polished & overall condition=99% excellent. Case & bracelet is free from dents or any major scratches while the bezel insert is a brand new replacement by the Rolex Ctr here with a receipt.

This watch is fitted with the desirable "thick" Oyster bracelet and worth well over a thousand dollar but almost impossible to replace now, unless you buy a current model bracelet which will set you back almost S$4K!

The Ref.1675 is the 2nd generation GMT Master & does not have a quick-set date function while the GMT arrow hand simply acts as a 24hr indicator. To view the 2nd time zone, you simply rotate the bezel according to the no of hours from your time zone.

We are now in the 7th generation GMT Master age with the Ref.116710LN.

The 1st generation was Ref.6542, followed by Ref.1675 which had a several variations, Ref.16750 with quick-set date. Then Ref.16760 (GMT 2), then ref.16700 & 16710 & finally the current model with the ceramic bezel insert.
