Collection
In a time when outdoor activities were a precious commodity, Bill shared a series of captivating wristshots featuring his exquisite Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 collection. This post not only offered a glimpse into his passion for vintage Rolex but also served as a reminder to appreciate simple pleasures amidst global challenges. His 'family shot' of matte and gilt dial 1675s highlights the enduring appeal and subtle variations within this iconic reference.
The GMT-Master reference 1675 is a significant model in the brand's history, representing an evolution from earlier GMT-Master references. It was produced for an extended period, allowing for numerous dial, bezel, and hand variations throughout its production run. This reference is notable for its introduction of crown guards, enhancing the watch's robustness and contributing to its distinct profile. It solidified the GMT-Master's design language, which would influence subsequent generations.
This reference features a 40mm case, available in stainless steel, yellow gold, or a two-tone combination of steel and yellow gold. It is powered by the automatic Caliber 1575, a chronometer-certified movement known for its reliability and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The watch is fitted with an acrylic crystal and offers a water resistance of 50 meters, suitable for everyday wear. The bidirectional rotating bezel, typically with an aluminum insert, displays a 24-hour scale.
For collectors, the 1675 is highly sought after due to its long production period and the resulting variety of configurations, including different dial types (gilt, matte), hand styles, and bezel colors (Pepsi, all-red, all-black). Its four-digit reference number and acrylic crystal are key characteristics that define it as a vintage Rolex. The reference appeals to those interested in the historical development of the GMT-Master line and the nuances of vintage watch collecting.

I see your politicians are doing the right thing over there. No real need for going to cinema or theatre, but many people need to go outside and breadth fresh air... Reclusion inside tiny flats is unhealthy for most of us. Thanks for the positive energy and enjoy!
