This Rolex watch is in overall great vintage condition. The case is in good condition with scratches and some nicks. The case appears to have been polished. The black bezel insert is in good condition with some wear and scratches. The dial is in overall excellent condition with some patina and light wear around the edges and around some of the hour markers. The hands and hour markers have developed patina. The lume on the dial and in the hands has all aged to an attractive yellowish-beige color. The Oyster bracelet is in great condition with some wear and scratches. The bracelet has light stretch between the links. The gold part of the bracelet has developed a lovely patina and has darkened a bit. The six o'clock end link has developed a bit more patina and shows tarnish. The clasp is marked "VE" corresponding to 1980 and is possibly a slightly later replacement.
The reference 1675 is the second iteration of the original GMT Master and was offered in many variations. A handful of metal options were produced under ref. 1675, including steel and gold, like the example we have here. It pairs the two-tone finish with a beautiful black dial with matching black bezel. However, what really sets this watch apart from other vintage Rolexes on the market are the charming yellow gold nipple hour markers. These interesting hour markers can only be found on certain gold or two-tone GMTs and gold Submariners.
This example has an overall great look to it with the black dial and all black bezel. Adding to the charm of this watch is the Oyster bracelet which you don't see as often as the Jubilee counterparts. The gold on bracelet has aged nicely and has developed a slight patina which adds to the overall vintage vibe.

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!!
