This GMT-Master is in great, honest vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The case is strong with normal signs of wear. The gorgeous red back bezel is in great condition with light wear; the colors have remained vibrant. This watch has retained its correct date wheel with closed 6s and hooked 7s. The glossy dial is in overall good condition with light patina and some wear; there is a drag mark around the entire edge of the dial from the small GMT hand, this can be hard to notice depending on the lighting/ angle and some spots are more noticeable than others. The lume on the dial and in the hands have developed patina and have aged to a beautiful yellow color. The hour and seconds hands show some cracking and the GMT has a small hole in the lume. The bracelet is in great condition with normal signs of wear; it has a bit of stretch between the links.
The GMT Master is Rolex’s signature pilot’s watch, complete with dual-time capabilities. It came to market in 1955, with ref. 1675 following shortly after in 1959. It’s one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex watches on the secondary market because it’s instantly recognizable with its 24-hour bezel and dedicated GMT hand. The Rolex 1675 was also notably the first GMT Master to use crown guards. The example we have here is Circa 1966 and features a glossy dial, this would be the last glossy dial variation before Rolex went to the matte dials. Collectors have dubbed this dial variation "Wide Swiss" due to the "Swiss - T < 25" at the bottom of the dial being spread over five minute hashmarks rather than the more common three.

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!!
