Description

Posting on behalf of a friend. For sale, a 1970 (3.1 mill) Rolex GMT Master 1675 in very good condition. Case is clean with crisp bevels, which lead me to believe it has never been polished. Pepsi bezel has begun to fade to a less intense shade of blue and red. Dial and hands have developed an ivory colored patina. Watch is running strong and keeping perfect time. Having said that, service history is unknown. It is being offered with its folded 7836 Oyster bracelet with 380 end links. Nato straps shown on pictures are not included. Priced at $6k USD. Overall this is a very nice example of a vintage Rolex. With lots of charm and lots of life left to give. A sale within the US is preferred, with payment via wire transfer. Shipping to be agreed upon both parties. Item is located in North Texas and a cash F2F deal would be welcome as well. For interested parties, please send me a PM and I will get you guys in contact. The seller although not a member of our forum has been a friend of mine for over 10 years and is a stellar individual. References can be provided upon request. Buyer should provide references as well. Many thanks

📖 About This 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.
