Second-generation GMT-Master two-tone model "Ref. 1675/3 Root Beer"

This is the first model of the GMT-Master combination, produced from around 1970 to around 1979.
From the first combination model (brown dial),
The watch features a popular brown and gold two-tone bezel.

This model (brown gold x brown) is called Root Beer overseas.
Although it is called beer, it is not actually beer, but a non-alcoholic spicy carbonated drink that is popular in the United States, and the can is apparently a similar color.

The Ref.1675/3 is made of 18K gold with an applied crown mark,
The crown mark is printed on the Ref. 16753.

The dial of the Ref. 1675/3 is a matte dial (excluding some final dials),
Ref. 16753 has a glossy dial.

Recently, I have the impression that the availability of the well-established 1675/3 root beer has become very limited.
This is a popular vintage model that we always stock and sell in our store.

This is about individuals that are in good condition to some extent,
Compared to a while ago, the market seems to be on the rise.

The combination of the spire-shaped barnacle indexes found on GMT Masters and Submariners manufactured from the 1960s to the 1980s and the brown dial is a perfect match!
As expected from Rolex, you can really feel the sense!

The matte final dial has slight deterioration over time, as seen through a magnifying glass.
The condition is good.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The indexes and luminous hands have a beautiful burnt finish, giving it a great atmosphere!

This particular piece has a beautiful brown gold insert with an exquisite fade.

The brown aging is incredibly cool!

The buckle clasp is from the first period of 1970.

The bracelet is fitted with a tasteful jubilee bracelet.
This Jubilee bracelet has a great vintage feel to it and is really cool.

The condition is good with some scratches from use appropriate for its age, but the case is thick and has sharp edges.

As you can see, the middle case is sturdy.

The impressive lug legs look great too!!

The case sides are not rounded, which is nice!

Wrist shot!! So cool!!
This is an outstanding piece with an exquisite combination of faded brown gold inserts and burnt tritium!

The highly popular 4-digit GMT-Master Root Beer "Ref. 1675/3 1972-1973"
This is a highly recommended specimen with a beautifully faded brown gold insert and tasteful Jubilee finish!
This is a very popular vintage GMT Master model that is currently experiencing a lot of momentum.
If you're interested, we recommend checking it out early!
