Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza would like to introduce a recommended wristwatch!

Today, we have an early vintage GMT-Master matte dial!

Rolex GMT-Master Long E All Tritium
Ref.1675 Serial.19 (manufactured around 1968)
Cal.1570 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF58 clasp 69.1 case back 68.3
Accessories: Watch only

 

The "Ref.1675" was a long-selling model produced from around 1959 to around 1979.
The mirror dial was changed to a matte dial around 1967.

The matte dial introduced here is commonly known as the "Long E dial," where the horizontal line of the letter "E" in the ROLEX logo is long.

It is a characteristic of early matte dials and
is a popular dial classified as a MK1 dial among matte dials.

The dial condition is excellent, clean even under magnification.

A MK1 dial maintained in such beautiful condition is undoubtedly rare!

The luminous material on the indexes has a beautiful patina, creating a superb ambiance!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The naturally aged tritium hands look great!
The color matches perfectly with the luminous material on the indexes.

The charm of this particular piece must be its mega-fat font
bezel insert!

Both blue and red colors have faded beautifully,
giving it that vintage model character!

This exquisite fading is simply wonderful.

If you look closely, the "1" and "4" in "14" on the scale are connected.

The plump, thick markers are so endearing.

The perfectly exquisite gradient fade is wonderful!!

This rare insert is not often seen!

The case and bracelet conditions are also good and recommended!!

The mid-case is thick and solid, without excessive finishing!

The powerful case is captivating!

The buckle clasp is engraved with 69.1.

The rivet bracelet, which matches the era, is also in good condition!!

Early matte examples have a stronger vintage feel and look great!

Wrist shot!! It has a great look!! 
This is a highly recommended vintage GMT-Master full of charm!

The second-generation GMT-Master I Ref.1675 "MK1/Long E 68"
This is a rare piece with a perfectly faded mega-fat insert and a long E dial in top condition, with tritium that has aged just right, making it incredibly cool!
Overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop!

For customers looking for a vintage GMT-Master/early matte example with an outstanding atmosphere,
please consider it.
