Matt dial for what used to be the price of a not shabby Rolex 1675 Gilt.  Where are these buyers coming from.  I have many to sell call me. LOL  It sold 3x the highest estimate in their range.  This market seems really good?

Following the success of the original GMT-Master reference 6542 in 1954, Rolex introduced a successor to the reference, the 1675. The reference 1675 stayed in production until 1980, replacing the early examples without crown guards. With the growth of transatlantic flights, Rolex teamed up with the world renowned airline Pan American Airways to help their pilots fight the effects of jet lag while travelling through different time zones. 

The present 1675 is fitted with a stunning matte black dial with silvered text. Its luminous hour markers have aged to a beautiful caramel color, perfectly matching its hands. The bezel retains a deep shade of blue and red, and the case is well preserved, with thick, fully defined lugs. The Oyster bracelet appears to be in its original state and is consistent with the condition of the watch. Accompanied by its two original guarantees, one from Rolex and the other from the retailer, Emperor Watch & Jewellery CO in Hong-Kong, it is a superb example of an early GMT-Master for the connoisseur.
