I reluctantly offer my beautiful 1965 Rolex 1675 GMT to help fund a grail purchase.

This is one of the best looking GMT's I've seen in years. It is a one owner watch, it was acquired from the family of the original owner.

The 1675 case is unpolished, 1.3 mil serial sharply engraved between the lugs, case back stamped II.65. Unpolished full Case Lugs / Crown Guards

Original Gloss Gilt Dial – Rare, Excellent condition, well-preserved; very few subtle scratches on gloss only visible under loupe, no watermarks or de-glossing. a stunning dial.

Original Fat-Font bezel insert - nicely aged and evenly faded

Original, nice matching hands (Hour hand lume repaired/matched by master Rolex watchmaker Bob Ridley).

Original 7206 /80 bracelet, unpolished. Good condition, no stretch- Dated 2-66

Single owner, authentic in its entirety.

Serviced in 2014 and running perfectly

 

I'm not a big Rolex guy but....this one certainly ticks all the right boxes.
A superb watch.

 

Thanks...very hard decision.

 

Truly amazing watch! I wish I could snot 18,5 k$ out of my nose...

I envy the deep pocket guy that will snag this one

 

Quote of the month so far....

 

This is a corker and I don't even much like Rolex what a beauty, this won't hang around and if the price was reduced by about 90% then not only could I afford it, but I would be prepared to bury any reservations about Rolex generally - and that's my best offer. GLWS.

 

Same here. Not a Rolex guy at all. Had a nice mf 5513 once that I sold.
But this one really put a hook into me. I'm literally thinking about which 3 watches I can sell quickly...

 

Damn! I was really thinking about this one!

I had it all planned out: "let's see now, if I sell 5 Datejusts and 1 IWC 666 that makes..."

 

Missed the pics.
Had to go on google to see.
Real nice!. You made the
right decision to keep it.

 

Sorry, decided to keep this...just couldn't let her go.

 

Good call......and not to go all Eddie Haskell on you thread for the mods, but you should add the WITHDRAWN prefix to your title!

 

I did, but somebody (mods?) reversed my edit.

 

I don't even know how to Eddie Haskell correctly!

 

Couldn't you at least post a picture in the WRUW-thread, so that I can have something to drool over

 

Oh, my,....
Now I understand why all the fuss.... and drool ....

 

@dougiedude, and you should see @CajunTiger's

 

Hopefully, I will!
