    Dear all,

    I would like to offer a Rolex GMT-Master for sale.

    183XXXX serial number i.e. approximate year 1968 production.

    The watch is in very good condition. Based on opinions shared by people in this and Vintage Rolex Forum, the case appears to be expertly refinished with bevels and thick crown guards. The usual micro scratches and minor dings are present as befitting a 50 years watch. The dialcomes with some paint loss on the minute markers. The original tritium lume on hour markers are intact on both dial and hands, aged to a lovely tangerine yellow. No relume or lume loss.Silver date disk with open 6”s and 9’s. Caseback is stamped 1675, was opined to be service caseback as it should have year stamp for this production period.

    The watch is keeping time well as movement was serviced in 2017.

    It is fitted with redback pepsi insert faded to a lovely denim/orange hue.

    The sale is for watch head only and comes with a complimentary aftermarket bracelet.

    No box or papers.

    Video inspection of the watch can be arranged via Whatsapp.

    I am selling this at USD $13,000 plus FEDEX shipping & Parcel Pro insurance at cost. Please add 4% for Paypal and bank transfer is acceptable.

    I am based in Singapore and welcome face to face transaction. I have a few seller references with established members here and can be furnished upon request. I recently sold my Tudor 94110 too.

    Initial photos are taken with previous service insert which have been traded with the awesome redback insert. The photos are taken in different lighting such as indoor and outdoor. No filters or editing done. Thank you.

    Updated the listing description to reflect the correct serial number.

    Just acquired a beautiful redback insert with faded denim blue/orange colours.

    The redback insert is available for optional sale if desired by the buyer. Thanks.
