Rolex GMT MASTER 1675 Gilt from 1966, finally box and papers. Is that so important to complete a set?
The papers, I got them with the watch. Even the original invoice, showing that the watch was bought from a Rolex AD in Tandil, Argentina, by a gentleman living in Mar Del Plata, Argentina, in May 1969, so three years after its production, which was, at th...
Probably a more intellectual pleasure but what a cool set !
and the 1675 itself is not bad either !!! it has an incredible charm with its uneven indexes
That is absolutely mind blowing!
i really admire your determination & patience, my friend. superb story & it completes your fantastic piece bravo!
Congrats dear Nicolas!
A story of passion, patience, friendship with a perfect ending. Cheers! SF
Congrats dear Nicolas for this completion of your project! You know how much I like this particular piece of your collection...
... having deep roots with my Country. We collectors are a somewhat crazy bunch! We go so far for reaching the completion of a project such us this: getting every piece and bit around the timepiece just as it was when it was sold to the first owner. I mus...
You are very right, Abel. First owners especially at that time, didn't care, for most of them, about box and papers.
So, finding a vintage Rolex with its box and papers is pretty challenging. It is a collectors thing. Sometimes, I wonder if our obsession is legitimate... Hence this post. After all, we wear a watch, not its box and papers. Best, Nicolas

Very inspiring story!
Though the watch is superb, agree on how importance of the intelectual dimension. Congrats for such a beauty and the completion of the set
That is pretty awesome, my friend!
Now, you are making me want to check that I still have EVERYTHING from my datejust purchased 10 years ago! I want to ensure my son can create posts like you all here 40 years from now!
Amazing, Nicolas!
I have seen this post before and can´t forget it as I remember the AD Rolex in Tandil in the 70's. and remmeber very well where it was. I use to visit Tandil regularly as my wife family is from Tandil. Really exciting post! Congrats for the "complete set"...
I'll try to get one but...
as it is no longer there since mid of the 80's. Anyway, in my next visit I will investiagte what can i find! Un abrazo
Very nice, everything perfect! but shame the hour markers aren't matching with...
the brochure on the right... BUT PERFECT!
It's a 1965 'thing'. Tough I only got/saw one like that!
It is only good because it is sort of unique, but I prefer the vintage beige like patina. Also complete 100% same as yours. ...
You a selective memory...
you remember the watch very well, but, forgot to call Dédé on his birth day... pfff LoL
