This Rolex watch is in great, honest vintage condition. The case is strong with normal signs of wear. The bezel ring has remained sharp and the red-back bezel has is well preserved with a slight fade throughout. This watch has retained its correct date wheel with closed 6s and hooked 7s. The dial is in overall excellent condition with some patina and light wear; this can be hard to notice depending on the lighting. The lovely jet black dial has remained very glossy. The lume on the dial has developed patina and aged to an even and attractive beige/yellow throughout. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands has aged to a pale yellow, a bit lighter than the color of the lume on the dial which is not uncommon. The lume in the hands developed a bit of dark patina around the edges. The USA jubilee bracelet is in great condition with normal signs of wear and some stretch between the links which is not uncommon for this style bracelet.
The GMT-Master is Rolex's signature pilot's watch, complete with dual-time capabilities. It came to market in 1955, with ref. 1675 following shortly after in 1959. It's one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex watches on the secondary market because it's instantly recognizable with its 24-hour bezel and dedicated GMT hand. The Rolex 1675 was also notably the first GMT-Master to use crown guards. The example we have here is from 1966 and features a glossy dial, this would be the last glossy dial variation before Rolex went to the matte dials. Collectors have dubbed this dial variation "Wide Swiss" due to the "Swiss - T < 25" at the bottom of the dial being spread over five minute hashmarks rather than the more common three. When looking closely at the movement of this watch it's stamped, "ROW" indicating it was made for the US market, so it makes sense that this watch has a USA oval link jubilee bracelet. We love it when these little details line up!
This watch is coming directly from the family of the original owner and is ready for a new home!
Great and easy transaction. Very professional and communicative. For sure a solid experience.
Great watch and very good help from Sam Berger who catered to my concerns.

Well represented watch in excellent condition. Super fast shipping. My second purchase from Bobs but not my last. Their watches seem to be in better condition than many of the others I’ve seen online.
The whole transaction process with Bob's is always top notch. The vintage watch was functioning as expected, the case is relatively strong with minimal polishing, and the dial is a beautiful service dial as expected.
I really like this beautiful 1675 with fuchsia bezel.
Quick e-mail responses, systematic
I have worn this watch everyday for 47 years, had it cleaned every 8 or so years, had the bezel replaced with the new one back in the 80s. Paid $400 in Switzerland in 1970. This is the greatest lifetime deal ever!!
