WTS: 1978 Rolex GMT Master - 1675 - super clean and all original watch

[zruvalcaba]

I have a 1978 Rolex GMT Master reference 1675 for sale. No box or papers. I bought this watch from a good friend. It was his dads watch and he bought it new in the late 70's. It was rarely worn and sat mainly in his moms vanity for almost 20 years. His dad passed away in the mid 2000's and he recently acquired the watch from his mom and then sold it to me. As you can see from the pictures, the bezel is original to the watch, as are the hands, dial, crystal, and bracelet. His dad had something engraved on the clasp but neither my friend nor his mom know why he did that or what the design even represents. Super clean 1675 here with the original 78360 marked bracelet, 580 marked end links, and VB coded clasp. Mark 5 dial which is consistent with this year....you don't see many in this condition.
