This GMT-Master is in overall great vintage condition consistent with age. The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The inside caseback is stamped "1675" and "II.70". Serial and reference numbers are visible between the lugs. The red-back bezel is in great, attractive condition with some normal signs of wear/ scratches. The bezel has faded throughout and the red is now a light pinkish color and the blue has an aqua look with more fading towards the outer edge. The matte black dial is overall great condition with light patina. The lume on the dial has developed patina and aged to a beautiful striking yellow color. The hands have developed patina. The lume in the hands have aged to a matching yellow color as the lume on the dial. This watch has a folded jubilee bracelet with 19 links and no. 55 end links. Back of clasp is stamped "1-71". This bracelet is in good condition with normal signs of wear; it has some stretch between the links which is not uncommon.
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. Rolex initially used glossy dials in the 1675 until around 1966 and switched to matte dials.
This circa 1971 "Pepsi" GMT has a Mark I matte dial and collectors refer to this dial variation as a Mark I "Long E." When looking at the "Rolex" text on the dial the "E" has a longer central bar (same length as the top and bottom ones) and that is where this nickname comes from.
This example comes directly from the family of the original owner and has retained its full kit including, box, "double punched papers," serialized hang-tag, cigarette card and more . "Double punched" papers means that it has the "Your Rolex Oyster" booklet with guarantee inside that has the corresponding punched serial number and the punched chronometer papers; two sets of punched papers. When looking inside the "Your Rolex Oyster" booklet at the guarantee section it shows the original retailer stamp of "Artland Watch Company" in Hong Kong and the sale date of September 6, 1971. We love all the goodies this has, especially the Cigarette card that basically tells the new owner to remove everything from the box and use it for cigarettes, how times have changed! In addition to the kit, the watch is in overall lovely condition with a striking yellow lume color and nicely faded bezel.
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!!
