Tiger's Eye GMT....Just In!
This is what some call a TT 1675 GMT with black dial/bezel. Circa 1979 with hacking movement.
A few scratches but the dial/hands are great (all tritium without blemishes). TigerEye1.jpg I like how the gold coronet as a 3D embellishment stands out on the (unblemished) dial. TigerEye2.jpg How rude showing off its nipples like that!! What I find very interesting is the gold tint to the date wheel. I had always assumed that Rolex used a brushed steel for all 1675 models that was a silver brushed steel. However, this example has a slight golden tint to the colour of the date wheel that I have not seen before. Its a great touch by Rolex. They don't make them like this anymore... Thanks to Patrick (OCROLEXGUY)

Interesting, no it has a closed "26" on the date wheel and I expect a closed "6" too.
So maybe this is a factory replacement date wheel..... The date change performs perfectly.

Vintage is a bargain in today’s rush for hot new releases. That one is not only spectacular, it’s uniquely spectacular. Nice find, and huge congrats.

Tiger's Eye GMT....Just In!
Actually, I thought the pics were excellent and as I was looking at the coronet as you described it and I was thinking it looked so good. you did such a good job of capturing and explaining a subtle single detail so that we could appreciate it too. Anyway, beautiful piece and congrats. I’d love to see a wrsit shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Beauty Steve it really is special
Perhaps it’s just my monitor, but the dial almost looks like a deep, rich, dark blue/black … it’s a stunner |

Congratulations Steve and welcome to the "GMT two-tone" club. By the way, the correct date wheels for these models were gold colored.
