Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!
Today, we have an early vintage GMT-Master with a matte dial!

Rolex GMT-Master Long E All Tritium
Ref.1675 Serial.1.9 million (manufactured around 1968)
Cal.1570 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF58 Clasp 69.1 Case back 68.3
Accessories: Watch only
Store price: 3,795,000 JPY (incl. tax)

 

The Ref. 1675, a long-selling model manufactured from around 1959 to 1979,
switched from a glossy dial to a matte dial around 1967.

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

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

The dial condition is excellent, and it is beautiful even under magnification.

An MK1 dial in such beautiful condition is undoubtedly rare!!

The luminous material on the indexes has aged beautifully, creating an excellent atmosphere!

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 main attraction of this particular piece has to be the
bezel insert with mega fat font, wouldn't you agree?

Both blue and red colors have faded beautifully,
giving it that distinct vintage charm!

This exquisite fading looks fantastic.

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

The chunky, plump numbers are simply adorable.

The gradation fade, which can truly be called exquisite, is wonderful!!

This is a rare insert that is hard to come by!

The case and bracelet condition are also excellent, highly recommended!!

The middle case is thick and solid, without excessive polishing!

The impressive case is a highlight!

The buckle clasp is engraved 69.1.

The rivet bracelet, appropriate for the era, is also in good condition!!

The early matte models have a stronger, cooler vintage feel!

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

2nd Generation GMT-Master I Ref.1675 "MK1/Long E 1968"
This rare piece features an exquisitely faded mega-fat insert and a top-condition Long E dial with beautifully aged tritium, making it incredibly cool!
It has also been overhauled by our affiliated workshop!
For customers seeking a vintage GMT-Master with an excellent early matte dial, we highly recommend this watch.
