This one seems to be the year of the GMT. I’ve alwayse been a great fan of the 1675, and consider the two tone version one of the only three watches ever made that actually look cool in steel and gold, the only other two being the Jumbo AP Royal Oak and – also Jumbo only – PP Nautilus. My taste, of course. The early 1675 matte brown dial make this watch a true icon of its times and absolutey different from anything else. And, it’s a Rolex! This example comes in dream conditions, showing all its years and, at the same time, its original, factory shine. The way the bezel is faded gived an extra touch of this timepiece’s original magic.
