Rolex 1675, just hearing that model number will grab the ear of any vintage timepiece collector. It is easily one of the most recognizable vintage watches in the world. While it was conceived to aid pilots as they are flying, it quickly transcended that role and became an iconic watch all on its own, worn by actors and powerful people the world over. Its many variations means that you can find one that specifically suits your taste personally. Introduced in the mid 1950’s, the GMT line has grown and evolved with every generation and has a completely loyal following that loves every model ranging from the first prototype to the latest “Batman”.
This specific 1675 from 1963 is truly a sight to behold! Sporting a gorgeous, glossy finish, gilt lettering dial, this feature alone would make it desirable. Adding to that is the small arrowhead GMT hand, that is correct for this model, and you have a winning combination. That is not all on this model however, In addition to that it comes with a very faded, almost ghost, fat font bezel insert in the Pepsi colors combination. What tops this piece of is the fabulous bracelet, though it is newer, It is vintage in its own right being the 7838 fold-over oyster link bracelet. The hands have been colored to match the dial and a few of the hour markers are partially missing some luminous material. This is truly a beautiful piece, don’t run the chance of waiting and missing it! If you have any questions fee free to contact Larry at larry@bobswatches.com.

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!!
