Vintage Watch Condition Examination
This GMT is in overall great, attractive condition. The case is strong with normal signs of wear. The beautiful fuchsia bezel shows some wear and has developed a lovely fade throughout; the back is fuchsia colored. The bottom portion has aged to a lovely pink and the blue has a faded almost aqua hue. The dial is in good, attractive condition with a fine speckled patina throughout. The lume has developed patina and aged to a pleasing beige color. The plot at 12 has a small spot of material missing. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands has been relumed/ color corrected to match the lume on the dial. The rivet Oyster bracelet is in great condition with some wear and a bit of stretch between the links.
Description: Vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 Pepsi
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. Rolex initially used glossy dials in the 1675 until around 1966 and switched to matte dials.
This circa 1969 example is in overall beautiful, honest condition with it's beautifully aged faded fuchsia bezel. Collectors refer to this dial variation as a Mark I "Long E." When looking at the "Rolex" text on the dial the "E" has a longer central bar (same length as the top and bottom ones) and that is where this nickname comes from.
These fuchsia GMT's are highly sought after by collectors because of their unique aesthetic compared to the "Pepsi" GMT's. This example has a lovely fat font bezel that has faded beautifully adding to the overall vintage charm.
This watch also comes from the original owner, making it a fresh find!

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!!
