"Selling a family heirloom.
Vintage Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi, blue and red bezel.

Has been in the family since new, bracelet paper and box lost.
It was serviced in 2015.
I try Rolex service but was too much money and they wanted to change most of the visual parts so I did not want to do it. You can see the serķal number, the model, the caliber and the parts that Rolex wants to replace in the estimate paper that I am sharing on this listing.
The watch is working and keeping good time."

He doesn't SAY it's GMT Master II- It's an old GMT Master. That's a cool watch with great patina. I would NOT service it other than a possible cleaning of the mechanism- but if it's keeping good time, then why bother. These are getting really big money these days so you better have it well insured.

Yes, that's a GMT Master 1675, and 1665fan is spot on regarding condition IMHO. It is a 1.9 mil serial number so mid 60s. Dial definitely has some issues with missing lume on some markers and they may have been repainted in the past as they do look kind of sloppy. I have no idea what Mark it is, and not going to look at this point. The hands are not too bad but clearly need to be stabilized. Bezel is a nice original fat font but a little too faded for my liking. Price would definitely be a factor.

This should go in the Vintge section for more comments.
