Rolex

1675 II 61 Gilt Chapter Ring, Cornino and chocolate dial:





Not a new catch, but a bit like love at first sight, each time I put it on the wrist.

Best,

Nicolas

Too late for breakfast don't you think?

So much pleasure is waiting for you.

Best,

Nicolas

...and one of my favourites...Genmaicha...if i am correct?

The more you know about these GMTs, the more you live with them, the more you love and appreciate them...

You will see...

Best,

Nicolas

... That´s an awesome watch! Look at the dial... and the bezel!!

No one can reach your love and passion for GMT´s but you got a good friend to accompany you in your feelings here!

Now that nobody hears in this place, I will tell you a secret: I´m behind a very similar piece since about 10 days ago. I can´t get the final deal with the seller. Shhhhhh!

I left him alone to think about my offer. I don´t want him to think I´m desperate behind his timepiece!! Bezel is very similar patinated like yours.

Dial is original glossy black, gilt and exclamation dot.

If I finaly get it, which I doubt, I will invite you with a hot sour Mate!!

Cross your fingers mi amigo!

Un abrazo afectuoso desde las lejanas Pampas,
Abel.

I confess I am still hunting at least 3, maybe 4 or 5 of them...

I very well see the one you are hunting... That would be great if you can get it.

After;, you may also find an underilne, or, very chic, a Serpico Y Laines....



You see, you're on a dangerous playground!

All the Best, Amigo Pampero.

Nicolas

... when I fell in love with GMT´s.

A Serpico & Laino? Well, I would die for one! But I know they are not in my budget level.

The only one I ever saw here, was a 1675 no guards, full gold case. Dial original brown, was patinated to yellow, inscriptionl Serpico & Laino in white letters.

My hart pounded so fast when I saw it! Pounded hardest when I listened what the seller was asking for that beauty!
Definitively I´m out of that league!

I will keep fighting for the oldie I told you about. Will keep you posted.

Have a nice weel end mi amigo Nicolas!

From the lonely and wide Pampas.

always great pieces dear!

Wow, chamfers still present on the lugs and patina to die for. Bravo Nicolas!

love the second picture!  lovely watch!!! Matt

Saw a couple of vintage Rolex pieces recently and preferred the 5512 to the 1675....these pictures however are titillating. This watch is vibrant in every way and I now equally like the 5512 and 1675!
In your view, how do these two models compare?

I really enjoyed your pictures!

I wold say that a gilt cornino 4 lines 5512 would generate a true massacre... Look at Bill's one...

But what to say about a watch like the one I posted, or even better, a 6542?

I guess it will depend on everyone's sensibility.

I am more sensible to the charm of the GMT, being 6542 or 1675, but I would love to get a 4 lines 5512 Gilt.

I just missed the train on thid last one, and with the money I'd save, I would happily go for several 1675 I still miss in my collection, or another 6542, just for the fun of it, with a service dial, for example.

Best,
Nicolas

Very slowly but surely you are converting me Nicolas! From a die hard SUBMARINER only fan to a GMT Master fan swell.

These GMTs aree just captivating watches, with a lot of character and charm.

Just one issue, thoiugh... They are dangerouslmy addictive.

Best, Edmond.

Nicolas.
