Pre-Owned Watch Condition Examination
This GMT is in honest, vintage condition throughout consistent with age. The case is in overall good condition with normal signs of wear. The hallmarks on the back of the one and 11 o'clock lugs are still visible. The beautiful fat font brown bezel insert with silver numbers is in great condition with some wear; the whole bezel has a faded a bit throughout. The brown dial is in great condition with a bit of wear and patina. The hour markers and hands have developed patina. The lume on the dial has developed patina and the lume in the hands has aged to an attractive creamy color.
Description: Rolex GMT-Master 1675
The reference 1675 is the second iteration of the original GMT Master and was offered in multiple variations. A handful of metal options were produced under ref. 1675, including the all-gold like the example we have here. It pairs with a beautiful brown dial with brown bezel. However, what really sets this watch apart from other vintage Rolexes on the market are the charming yellow gold nipple hour markers and overall “Root Beer” motif.
This example features a beautiful fat font, silver text bezel that has perfectly faded adding to this GMT's vintage charm. This watch didn't come on a bracelet so we decided to add an olive green NATO to shake things up. This color complements the brown and gold really well; the NATO also has gold colored hardware to match the case.

Well represented watch in excellent condition. Super fast shipping. My second purchase from Bobs but not my last. Their watches seem to be in better condition than many of the others I’ve seen online.
The whole transaction process with Bob's is always top notch. The vintage watch was functioning as expected, the case is relatively strong with minimal polishing, and the dial is a beautiful service dial as expected.
I really like this beautiful 1675 with fuchsia bezel.
Quick e-mail responses, systematic
I have worn this watch everyday for 47 years, had it cleaned every 8 or so years, had the bezel replaced with the new one back in the 80s. Paid $400 in Switzerland in 1970. This is the greatest lifetime deal ever!!
