The reference Rolex 1675 in gold is great model to own. But when it comes to a unique model with very few example circulating the Rolex 1675 with Concorde hands is a rare reference to own. Rolex 1675 18k Concorde hands First why the name "Concorde hands" ...  

I saw other ads with mercedes hour hand and the Concorde. Which removes nothing from the mystery of this version, which as you rightly pointed out, seems to have had a very short life, of one year, one year and a half. I saw much less of those than the 65... 

Featured flat Hands with ad date refernce 1968 from the magazine. So yes the ad did appear later with Mercedes hands so the story still stands as it was first seem with Flat long hands aka Concorde. You can see the flat hands selling price $1,125 vs the m...

...for the Rolex noob I am. Thank you Bill. Cheers, Mark

and in your opinion is this combo legit?

The insert is not really the issue as it could be replaced. The no dash combined with mercedes hands also sounds like it could be a good match. For a better idea the serial range and a picture would be helpful. But in any case no real alarm bells. Bill

T Swiss T dial on Gold Jubilee circa 1969, nice condition. The bug has returned. Always wanted a gold one. HAGWE. BTY, as you know one like yours is impossible to find, so Kool.

Great review, Bill! Here is another ad with the Concorde hands. Unfortunately I don't know the year of this ad. Best Blomman ...  

Concorde i like that name. But it shows how Rolex advertising used a lot of mix and match.

Here we can establish the correlation between the ad price and the official Rolex price list whic gives a clear indication of the time period. Oldest ad with $1,100 price circa 1968 to set the base line of the Rolex 1675 gmt with Concorde hands. We start ...  

thank you for the pics and the info on the refrence! I have always wanted a 1675 A&W!

Your collection is ready for a showcase. Best Bill

Not many information available on the early GMT 1675/8. This is definitely a very informative one SBK

I knew it was a cool watch all along ;-) ...  

Bill, you might have created a massive value increase of the Milgauss with this post ;-) ...  

The reason the gmt reference with concorde hands is important is the unique nature just like the gmt with dauphine hands. Very short run. Bill

Love this reference, and I think if I ever buy a watch in a colored gold it will be a 1675 or a 1680.

I have Concorde and described, it has the dash between oyster and perpetual, But when you do a search on the net, most appear without this dash, do this mean that the watches without the dash has replacement dials? Or was the watch available with both? Re... 

They came after the gold no crown guard 1675 which shared the same style dial with the dash. With Rolex we never say never, I was not in the factory in 1968/9 nor am I the original owner, but my experience is that the dash is without a doubt correct while... 

Here is my watch ...  

Like Nico said it was worth posting. Part of a select few no story needed. Bill
