ROLEX GMT-Master Tropical

Accessories: Watch body only

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

The particular model we're introducing today features a "gilt dial" which was produced until around 1967.

Gilt dials are captivating due to their mirror-like sheen,
and the gold-painted logos and minute lines are also characteristic.

The slightly recessed gold lettering is a magnificent sight in person,
making it a beautiful dial that exudes the delicate charm unique to vintage models!

This particular model features an early gilt dial,
with a minute track printed along the outer edge of the dial, known as a
“chapter ring,” “circle mirror,” or “MM dial,” made until around 1964.

This particular piece features a tropical dial, where the dial has undergone a supremely cool brown transformation, making it a rare find!

What do you think??
This is vintage at its finest!! Such wonderful aging.

Tropical gilt GMT-Masters themselves are quite rare, but an MM dial with such strong brown aging is even rarer to come across.

The dial has spider-like cracks,
but on the contrary, it enjoys wonderful aging that exquisitely matches the tropical dial.

Above all, the key point is that it's a 1675/Tropical Gilt that still retains its brilliant luster!

A brilliantly aged tropical is incredibly cool.

The orange-toned glow of the lettering also has a nice vintage flavor!

The luminous material on the indexes is still well-preserved, and the condition is excellent!!

The color of the luminous material on the hands matches that of the indices,
and the luminous material's condition is also good.

This piece also has a fantastic early insert!!
The unique coloring of this era, where the lower part appears orange, is wonderful.
The blue hue is also incredibly cool!!

This particular piece is incredibly captivating due to its exceptionally atmospheric aging,
possessing a character that contemporary models simply cannot replicate!!

The very first "deep groove bezel" with deeply grooved bezel grip, and

The crown guard, known as "PCG/Cornino," with its pointed tip, is also a characteristic of this era and a irresistible feature for vintage enthusiasts!!

The condition has scuffs and scratches commensurate with its age,
but the overall condition is good and highly recommended!

As you can see, the middle case has not undergone excessive finishing and remains solid.

The lugs have a strong, impressive appearance!

A mirror dial with a rivet bracelet is an essential combination!

The buckle clasp is stamped 67.1.

The later rivet bracelet has some natural stretching, but it is still solid.

Wrist shot!! Seriously cool~! The exquisite gradation changes are simply irresistible. Please enjoy this wonderful aging!
