Why This Watch Matters This isn’t just any GMT-Master – no, it’s a 1675 with incredible patina; just look at that faded Pepsi bezel. It’s not often you come across colors like this, so you better be quick! The Full Story The Rolex GMT reference 1675 is quickly becoming one of the most sought after vintage Rolex watches, which comes as no surprise when you find one in condition such as this. The example we have here is not for the faint of heart, but rather for someone who appreciates really good patina, something this watch is not short on. The GMT you see here is in original condition, however the formerly red and blue Pepsi bezel has now faded to fuchsia and pale blue. The dial has turned to a faded black with vanilla indexes. Overall, this watch was previously loved, and it shows it in the best way possible.

However, that is part of its charm. The case has likely been polished, but still maintains its shape. There are some superficial scratches on the caseback and case band. The dial, however, is nearly perfect, with beautiful patina. The indexes at 4-6 are slightly discolored, and there is a scratch on the bezel between 12 and 14. Additionally, the bezel insert has faded from red and blue to pale blue and fuschia. Trust us when we say that this is a good condition “issue” to have.
