Tiger's Eye GMT....Just In!
This is what some call a TT 1675 GMT with black dial/bezel. Circa 1979 with hacking movement.
A few scratches but the dial/hands are great (all tritium without blemishes). TigerEye1.jpg I like how the gold coronet as a 3D embellishment stands out on the (unblemished) dial.  TigerEye2.jpg How rude showing off its nipples like that!!  What I find very interesting is the gold tint to the date wheel. I had always assumed that Rolex used a brushed steel for all 1675 models that was a silver brushed steel. However, this example has a slight golden tint to the colour of the date wheel that I have not seen before. Its a great touch by Rolex.  They don't make them like this anymore... Thanks to Patrick (OCROLEXGUY)

Actually, I thought the pics were excellent and as I was looking at the coronet as you described it and I was thinking it looked so good. you did such a good job of capturing and explaining a subtle single detail so that we could appreciate it too. Anyway, beautiful piece and congrats. I’d love to see a wrsit shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So maybe this is a factory replacement date wheel..... The date change performs perfectly.

Vintage is a bargain in today’s rush for hot new releases. That one is not only spectacular, it’s uniquely spectacular. Nice find, and huge congrats.

Beauty Steve it really is special
Perhaps it’s just my monitor, but the dial almost looks like a deep, rich, dark blue/black … it’s a stunner

Congratulations Steve and welcome to the "GMT two-tone" club. By the way, the correct date wheels for these models were gold colored.
