Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare Ref. 1675 with a circle mirror dial.

Rolex GMT-Master 6-Dot
Reference 1675 Serial 69 series (manufactured around 1961)
Cal.1560 US rivet case back 61.2
Accessories: Main unit only

The second generation GMT-Master "Ref. 1675" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1979

The model we are introducing this time was produced up until around 1967.
It's a "mirror dial."

The mirror dial has an attractive mirror-like shine.
Other distinctive features include the gold-painted logo and minute lines.

The gold lettering is one level lower and looks amazing in person.
It's a beautiful dial that captures the delicacy that only a vintage model can offer!

This particular dial is one of the earliest mirror dials,
A track-shaped minute circle is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
It is called a "chapter ring," "circle mirror," or "MM dial."
This is a mirror dial made up until around 1964.

Furthermore, this dial is a rare one that features a circular luminous element on the minute circle at the 6 o'clock position, commonly known as the "6-dot" dial .

The luminous points, when viewed together with the bar indexes, resemble an exclamation mark, which is why they are also called exclamation dials .

It is said that this dial was one of the first to use tritium, and has a reduced radium content and uses tritium in addition. 

The evaluation of mirror dials varies greatly depending on their condition,
This particular watch has a shiny mirror dial that still retains its luster.

This is a watch manufactured around 1961, so there are some small scratches,
Circle mirrors that maintain such a beautiful luster are definitely rare!

There are some missing 6-dot luminous elements,
Other indexes remain relatively intact and are in excellent condition!

The luminous material is all tritium, and the flat hands look great!!
The luminous condition is also good.

The earliest deep grooved bezels with deep grooves on the bezel grips , 

The pointed crown guard, called "PCG/Cornino", is a characteristic of this era and looks really cool!

The bezel will be in later years,
It features a fat font insert with exquisite aging!

This item comes with the original insert, so I highly recommend it!

It's interesting how changing the insert on the GMT Master completely changes the look!
Still, the inclusion of this initial insert is a nice feature!
Please enjoy it to your liking!

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches from use,
There are no major scratches and the condition is good.

The middle case is not overly finished,
It is very sturdy.

A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a mirror dial!
The bracelet is a US rivet bracelet.

There is some wear and tear appropriate for its age, but the atmosphere is not compromised at all.

Wrist shot!!
The jet black circle mirror dial and the exquisitely aged inserts are incredibly cool!
We hope you will pick up a copy and take a look!

GMT Master Circle Mirror 6 Dot "Ref. 1675/61"

It's rare to come across a Ref. 1675 with a circle mirror/6 dot dial and luminous finish in excellent condition!
For customers looking for a rare mirror dial,
