Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to a recommended wristwatch!
Today, we have a GMT-Master with an incredibly cool circle mirror dial.

Rolex GMT-Master 6-Dot All-Tritium
Ref. 1675 Serial 69xxxx (manufactured around 1961)
Cal. 1560 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF80 Clasp 62.4 Case back 61.2
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

 

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

The individual we are introducing today features a
"mirror dial" that existed in models manufactured up to around 1967.

The mirror dial has an attractive mirror-like sheen,
and the gold-painted logo and minute track are also distinctive.

The recessed gold lettering is a magnificent sight in person,
a beautiful dial that allows you to feel the delicate craftsmanship unique to vintage models!

This particular piece features an early mirror dial,
with a track-like minute circle printed along the outer edge of the dial,
known as a
"Chapter Ring," "Circle Mirror," or "MM Dial," produced until around 1964.

Furthermore, this dial is a rare dial, commonly known as a "6-dot" dial,
which features a circular luminous marker at the 6 o'clock position on the minute track.

When the luminous dot is viewed together with the bar index, it looks like an "!" mark,
which is why it is also known as an
Exclamation Dial.

It is said to be an early tritium model where the radium content was reduced,
and tritium was used in conjunction on the dial.
 

The condition of mirror dials significantly affects their valuation!

This particular piece retains its glossiness very well,
making it a highly recommended mirror dial with an excellent impression!!

Although there is some minor natural aging,
it maintains a relatively clean condition for a piece manufactured around 1961.

In particular, the luminous material on the indexes remains in excellent condition,
a rare find with no visible chips!!

The 6-dot luminous material is also well preserved,
making it a piece that fully embodies the charm of early models!

The luminous material on the hands is also in excellent condition!
The flat hands look great!!

The crown guard that extends far out to the side
is also a characteristic of this era, known as the "Broad PCG" or "Hirame case," and it looks cool!

The bezel is also equipped with the original insert, which is wonderful!!
The condition of the insert is also amazingly good!!

The charm of this color is that the lower part looks almost orange.

The blue color remains vibrant and clean. This insert is also quite rare.

The condition shows some scuffs and scratches commensurate with its age,
but the overall condition is outstanding, making it an excellent piece!

As you can see, the middle case is thick and very solid!!

Look at this profile!
The beautiful chamfers flowing from the lugs to the case sides are incredibly cool!!
Personally, this is a point I could gaze at forever.

This is an excellent middle case, truly a prime example!

The deep-grooved bezel also has a great character.

The rivet bracelet is also an essential point for a mirror dial!

The buckle clasp is stamped 62.4.

The rivet bracelet, appropriate for its age, is in top condition with almost no stretch!!
This rivet bracelet is undoubtedly rare as well.


The gleaming gilt dial with gold lettering shines beautifully!!
Overall, it is a recommended excellent piece that maintains attractive condition!!

Wrist shot!!
Wow, it looks incredibly cool on the wrist!!
The crisp "Hirame" case and the lustrous gilt dial...
Irresistible!!
