1675 GMT - 1977 Radial Dial



Watch is also in chrono24, for me that's not a good sign.

Dial looks w/o major defects, but the resolution of the dial pics is not good enough to be really sure. I don't like the greenish hands. Polished surfaces are impossible to judge from these photoshoped photos.

Would certainly NOT buy w/o much better photos, best would be to see the watch live in Stuttgart, Germany.

I recommend to search for a better 1675!

1675 GMT - 1977 Radial Dial



Zoom into one of the published photos of this 1675: There is absolutely no structure visible on this stainless steel surface. Other views of this watch body are similar. Hence no idea how that case looks in reality!

Completely false and ridiculous. Almost every major dealer lists watches on there. I have found countless watches from tiny dealers, old school shops, etc on there. I mean, of course I contact the dealers directly, but still.

Mr. Harry Lime, I try to share my long experience in a kind and polite way and try my best to help the OP. Politeness does not seem to be your first priority. There I can't help.

HarryLime - That's concerning :/

@Tom I edited it out in my photos because I was focusing on the polishing.

You can see the listing here:

https://www.watch.de/germany/rolex-g...er-22-500.html

I have decided not to buy this one and see what comes around. I'm in no hurry. Maybe suddenly a beautiful 1655, Radial or something else comes up. Today I was lucky and got me a 67 Yema Yachtingraf. So that will help keep me entertained for a bit ;)


Thank you for your advice and sharing photos of your awesome GMTs.

Why Rolex changed those dials is beyond me. They are gorgeous!

Thanks for the pics everyone!

Very nice, I like those a lot.

Keep posting candidates as your search continues.
