Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!
Today we have a GMT-Master/Tropical Dial with uniquely charming aging.
ROLEX GMT-MASTER TROPICAL
Ref.1675 Serial.69xxxx (manufactured around 1961)
Cal.1560 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF80 clasp 67.1 caseback 61.2
Accessories: Watch head only
Store price: 10,890,000 JPY (tax included)
The second-generation GMT-Master "Ref.1675", manufactured from around 1959 to 1979.
The particular piece we are introducing today features a "gilt dial", which was present in models manufactured up until around 1967.
Gilt dials are appealing for their mirror-like shine, and the gold-painted logo and minute track are also characteristic features.
The slightly recessed gold lettering is truly exquisite in person, making it a beautiful dial that allows you to feel the delicacy unique to vintage models!
This particular piece has an early gilt dial, known as a "Chapter Ring," "Circle Mirror," or "MM Dial," with a track-like minute circle printed along the outer edge of the dial, manufactured until around 1964.
This watch has a rare and stunning tropical dial, with the dial having undergone an exceptional brown change.
What do you think? This is a fantastic aging that truly screams "vintage"!
While tropical gilt GMT-Masters are already quite rare, it's even rarer to find an MM dial with such a strong brown aging.
Although the dial has spider-web cracks, it wonderfully complements the tropical dial, offering a superb aged look.
The key point is that this 1675 tropical gilt still retains its glossy finish!
A shiny tropical dial is truly incredibly cool.
The orange-toned luminescence of the letters also adds a nice touch!
The lume on the indexes is still firmly intact, and the condition is excellent!
The lume on the hands matches the indices well, and the lume condition is good.
The early insert on this piece is also wonderful! The unique coloring of this era, where the bottom part appears orange, is very appealing. The blue color is also incredibly cool!
This particular piece is incredibly charming with its superb aged appearance, possessing a character that modern models simply cannot replicate!
The very early "deep groove bezel" with its deep bezel grip grooves, and
The crown guard, known as "PCG/Cornino" with its pointed tips, is also a characteristic of this era and an irresistible point for vintage enthusiasts!
While the condition shows scratches and scuffs appropriate for its age, the overall condition is good and highly recommended!
As you can see, the mid-case is solid with no excessive finishing.
The lugs have a solid and impressive appearance!
The mirror dial with a riveted bracelet is an essential combination!
The buckle clasp is stamped 67.1.
The later riveted bracelet shows some natural stretching but remains sturdy.
Wrist shot!! Seriously cool! The exquisite gradient change is simply irresistible. Please enjoy this wonderful aging!

The real thing is incredibly cool, so please come and see it for yourself! For customers looking for a unique vintage GMT-Master, we highly recommend considering this piece.
