Purchased a 2.2 million 1675. Just a few questions
Good evening,
Today, I purchased a Rolex GMT Master 1675 from a local jewelry store. I am just starting to get into vintage watches, and hope you can provide me with some information about this watch. The GMT is a 2.24 million serial which from my understanding dates to approximately 1969. Prior to me, this was a one owner watch, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed the original owner can locate the warranty papers for me! From the pictures provided, I am curious whether all of the parts look original to the watch, or whether certain things were changed over time (IE insert, dial, bracelet, etc.) Any info that you can provide me is greatly appreciated! |

Thanks guys! Is this the correct bezel insert for the era? Also is this what is referred to as a Mark 1 dial?

Should my watch have a fat font insert, or is mine period correct?

I didn't even know they made Rolexs in 1675!
Great find. Enjoy! |
