So this is the Rolex "GMT" thread....

Back from the spa and looking sharper then ever… literally.
1675 circa 1961 gilt dial, exclamation point, pointed crown guards, and railroad track minutes.

New beautifully faded red back insert to kick things up a bit on this 1983 Rolex 16750…! (The prior, lighter blue one has been posted for sale in the sales forum, if anyone is interested).

Darker, no fade inserts look better on cream patina dials.

Interesting posts !
a railroad track minutes ... called a closed chapter ring ?
the Mercedes hour hands ... called a squelette hand ?

Still new, but intended to have a life in the wild …

My 3rd time owning this reference. I always come back. Lug holes and SEL 2003. Came with black bezel/ oyster. Added Pepsi/ jubilee. Will pick up a coke bezel for the set if I can find one at a decent price or find time to get to RSC. It’s not going anywhere this time.

Far from the most perfect example but still pretty good looking for its age.

As much as I love the Speedmaster I really think the 1675 is almost the most perfect watch.

Off-topic (kinda): your username, the TLI...is that translunar injection?
