What year is my GMT Master 1675 from? Serial number 514xxxx
Serial number 514xxxx
I have looked at multiple sources online, some are stating it to be from 1977, while others have stated 1978. Keying my serial number into this resource yields 1978: https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-serial-numbers While other resources such as this, yields 1977: https://beckertime.com/lookup-rolex-serial-by-year/ Can anyone clear up this discrepancy for me? |

Agreed with Lee. I'd err on the side of 1977.
If it's a birth year watch then look at it as accounting for baking time. |

Yes, I'd agree closer to '77, but no one knows 100 percent. (FYI, this forum has its own fine serial number chart: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=54362).
As for the discrepancy, that's because all of the charts online are put together by dealers/hobbyists. Rolex itself doesn't release this information. |

Roll the dice. 1977 or 1978 but as Swish wrote, probably closer to 1977.
