my holy grail is waiting for me - see you tomorrow

I was looking for a long time for this amazing GMT model.
My wish since ten years is, to own a birthyear 1675 GMT in fantastic condition and that's not so easy in our country.
You can find a lot of 1675, but not in really good condition (with different dials, hands, bracelet and so on......) and not with a story behind the watch.

So tomorrow I will catch my holy grail from a very serious collector and I can't wait until tomorrow.

Here are some topics:
*GMT 1675 gilt from 1966 (o.k. I'm from 1965, never mind )
*rolex movement revision from dec. 2016
*amazing gilt dial with the small 24hour hand
*and many more.....


wristshots as soon as possible in the sun !!!

Congrats! I wonder what "Rolex Clockwork Revision" means. I hope that's just a movement service.

Very nice! There are fewer and fewer of these around if such condition. I hope it's a keeper.
