Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have the coolest GMT Master with a circular mirror dial.

Rolex GMT-Master 6-Dot
Reference 1675 Serial 69 series (manufactured around 1961)
Cal.1560 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF80 Clasp 63.1 Back cover 61.2
Accessories: Main unit only
Retail price: 5,698,000 yen (tax included)

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

The model we are introducing this time has a mirror dial, which was available on models manufactured up until around 1967.

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 condition of a mirror dial can make a big difference in its value!

This one can't be called top class,
The glossiness is still there, making for a very impressive mirror dial.

There is some aging and minor scratches,
It is in relatively good condition for a model manufactured around 1961.

In particular, the luminous indexes are in excellent condition.
It's in rare condition with almost no chips!

The 6-dot luminous material is still intact and it's in excellent condition!

The flat needles look great!
There is some luminous correction on the minute hand, but it does not detract from the atmosphere in any way.

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

The bezel is also beautifully equipped with the original inserts!!
The colour is attractive as the underside appears orange.

The color remains vibrant and the insert has a beautiful color.
This insert is also very rare.

The condition is age-appropriate with some scuffs and scratches,
The overall condition is good and highly recommended!

As you can see, the middle case is solid and not overly finished.

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

The buckle clasp is engraved with the first period of 1963.

The rivet bracelet has a very natural twist,
It is very sturdy.

Wrist shot!! So cool!!
The early circle mirrors have a certain charm.

GMT Master Circle Mirror 6 Dot "Ref. 1675/61"
This is a wonderful vintage GMT Master that embodies the charm of the early models!
A Ref. 1675 with such a well-balanced circle mirror/6-dot design is rare.
The selling price is also attractive, so don't miss out!
Overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop.
For customers looking for a circular mirror dial with a great atmosphere,
