Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza is here to recommend a wristwatch!

Today's watch is an early example of a vintage GMT Master/matte dial!!

Rolex GMT Master I Long E All Tritium
Ref.1675 Serial.1.7 million (manufactured around 1968)
Cal.1570 Rivet 7206/FF80 Clasp Code 68.1 Case back 67.2
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

 

The Ref.1675, a long-selling model manufactured from around 1959 to around 1979.

It's a model with profound appeal, featuring numerous variations throughout its long production period.

Furthermore, the aging of each bezel is unique,
making this model special for enjoying its one-of-a-kind personality.

The matte dial introduced this time is commonly known as the "Long E dial," where the horizontal line in the center of the letter "E" in the ROLEX logo is long.
It's a characteristic of early matte dials and is a popular dial classified as a Type 1 dial among matte dials.

Furthermore, the luminous material is an early MK1 dial with tritium that glows green, just like the mirror dial.
It's a rare dial that is seldom seen among Ref.1675 matte dials.

The dial condition is excellent, maintaining a clean state even under a loupe.
It's rare to find such a well-preserved dial on an early matte dial.

The luminous material on the indexes is also in top-level condition!!

The luminous material is all tritium.
It is equipped with hands that have an exquisite aging charm.

The degree of fading on the bezel insert, which matches the age, is also exquisite!!

This gradient-aged blue is irresistible!!
It has that vintage model charm!

The condition is consistent with its age, with some scratches throughout, but
the case and bracelet are in good condition.

The mid-case is also solid!

The bracelet is a rivet bracelet, FF80/7206.
Rivet bracelets have a strong vintage feel and are very cool.

The buckle is stamped '68.1'.

There is minimal stretch in the rivet bracelet, and it is in excellent condition.

This is a vintage model with enduring popularity and is a best-seller at our store.
Well-preserved examples tend to move quickly!

Wrist shot!! It looks great!!
This is a vintage GMT Master with an exceptional vibe!
