Incoming.Here she is and she's Beautiful!!! 1675 Gold

So here it is, My 1675 Gold GMT.





I am so excited, so pleased and can not say Thank You enough to Marco.
It was one of the smoothest swaps ever.

As most of you here are well aware , I had a Two-Tone 1675 RootBeer which I did enjoy the hell out of.
One of the things that drew me to the Rootbeer and or GMT, was the two-tone look and the endless amount of inserts.
I could swap my insert out everyday and make it look like a different watch.
It is just a striking timepiece, throw in the nipple dial.
Speechless.
Just breath taking and definitely an eye catcher.
Do I miss it? Yes, but as soon as I received my replacement, I was totally blown away and am happy with my decision.
Of course I swapped out my insert right away as I couldn't resist as many of you already know I have a few extra inserts lying around :).
The patina is great. The dial is great. It is in untouched condition other than the custom scalloped look, which is simply stunning in person. Just a complete knockout. I am so over the moon right now. I owe a big Thank You to Mikey
(Love You Kid) , family, friends and Marco over at Gentlemen Timepieces .

John aka j/p, H aka Mountainjogger, Dan S,
Thanks for the support!

Andy aka Kingface, Zapokee, TimeLord, what do y'all think?

Whats up StylesBitchley and all my Besties

Hope you guys like it because I love it.
I still can't believe it.

I like it!! That is a beauty! When I saw it in the classifieds I was thinking of you and your gold Oyster bracelet! Dial and hands look nice too. And who doesn’t like a good nipple. Am I right Bitchley?

Thank you. I absolutely love this and I don’t think I’m going to be changing my mind anytime soon

Congratulations. I saw that watch while having lunch with Marco here in Dallas a few weeks ago. I found the custom case work quite interesting indeed.

Enjoy your watch for many years to come.

Very nice pick-up. I have a TT, but I admit that all gold case looks mighty fine. I hope you enjoy the heck out of it.

It is quite amazing. It is a total shocker compared to the two-tone. Thanks

Congrats. It's beautiful. You won't see another case like that... I love the fade on the dial.

Was it a straight swap?

I think all of us who have seen the other accessories in your possession would like to see some additional pictures. Namely, watch you just purchased + Gold Oyster bracelet you tried to convince everybody looked good on the previous TT. Hahahahha! The gold rehaut makes the dial glow like stainless never can. Well played...

This is such an awesome piece. Congratulations! It looks like something you’d find in Don Corleone’s desk drawer.

Gold watches have never been my thing, but in the last few years I’ve been changing my mind. I don’t know if I’m just getting older or if they’re coming back in fashion and I’m easily swayed.

Have to wait till I have the proper spring bar tool to take of my straps to showcase the case.
