Dear Forum -- For your consideration from my private collection, a very nice Rolex GMT 1675 from 1977. I have owned and cared for this watch for several years, wearing it sparingly which is why I have decided to let someone else enjoy it.

The watch is completely original boasting a period correct MK 5 dial with 'Maxi' lume plots. The dial is simply gorgeous and flawless with matching handset. No relume or lume loss to be found, it's large plots stand out when you look at the watch, indicative of the MK5 dials. The tritium has aged to a beautiful creamy patina which changes colors depending on light. I personally love the color of the markers which are complimented nicely with the insert.

The case is in superb condition, displaying thick sharp chamfers showing very little wear on the polished sections. Lug holes are crisp, no cratering which is a big pet peeve for me. The top of the lugs have excellent factory brushed steel finish with no major blemishes. The crown guards are thick and square at the top, with clean crown tube which sets this watch apart.

The insert pulls all the above components together. The absolutely stunning and vibrant Fat Font Pepsi Red Back makes this watch stand out. It compliments the dial nicely and makes the markers 'pop'.

The bracelet is a period correct 78360 with 580 endlinks and correct VC clasp code. It has minimal stretch and blemishes.

Most on this forum know my passion for GMT's, I love the reference and have owned & handled hundreds over the years. This watch checks all boxes, it has a flawless dial, unbelievably thick case and killer insert. The watch runs very well and has not been serviced during my ownership. If you're looking for a period correct honest 1675, this is it.

Asking: $15,250 wired, includes insured overnight delivery within CONUS. Will not deliver to PO Box. International delivery at buyers expense, will not declare lower value as it voids insurance.

Returns - 24 hour inspection period, returns accepted only if grossly misrepresented.

I have tons of references on this forum and been an active contributor for a long time.

Feel free to ask any questions, happy to get on a VC as well.

Thank you for viewing.

Beautiful piece.....I can't add a 3rd, I can't add a 3rd.....keep saying all day

 

Amazing watch and pictures, GLWS...

 

Thank you, John. I hope you are enjoying your beautiful GMT.

 

As a 20+ year owner of a well loved 16750 I can say with confidence that this is probably one of the most versatile and rugged watches on the planet.
And I am envious as mine lost those chamfers long ago



You will be hard pressed to find a better one- get off the fence.

Thank you all for the kind words and interest.
