    Dear all,

    I would like to offer a Rolex GMT-Master 1675 for sale.

    555XXXX serial number i.e. approximate year 1978 production.

    The watch is in very good condition. Based on opinions shared by people in this and Vintage Rolex Forums, the case remains thick with even lugs. Case is excellent for its age. The usual micro scratches and minor dings are present as befitting a 40 years watch. But there are no dents on the case itself. Serial number and model number in between lugs looks original and not re-stamped.

    The tritium lume is intact on both dial and hands, aged to a lovely creamy yellow. No relume, lume loss or spotting on the dial. Silver date disk with open 6”s and 9’s. Caseback is stamped 1675.

    The watch is keeping time well with movement running after 1 shake of the rotor.

    The watch is fitted with redback fat font bezel insert faded to a copper/denim colour in excellent condition.

    It comes with a 78360 oyster bracelet (11 links) with 593 end links unworn by myself.

    No box or papers.

    Video inspection of the watch can be arranged via Whatsapp at +65 97677298

    I am selling this at USD $15,000 plus FEDEX shipping & Parcel Pro insurance at buyer’s cost. Please add 5% for Paypal and bank transfer is preferred.

    I am also able to sell the watch at USD $13,000 with a vibrant blueback fat font insert instead.

    I am based in Singapore and welcome face-to-face transaction. I have quite a number of seller references with established members(sold 1675 mk1 on this forum last year) and can be furnished upon request.

    Plenty of photos below in different lighting such as indoor and outdoor. No filters or editing done. Thank you.

    Very, very attractive watch…exactly the condition, I would expect from a 40yr old example, that has been regularly worn, & but still cared for

    It has been, historically polished, but very sympathetically…lugs are still strong

    Refreshing to see, no bullshit, and no ‘botoxing’ of the case, for a change

    Does the date of the bracelet, match the watch ?
