VINTAGE & RARE ROLEX MEN ' S 1675 GMT LONG E AUTOMATIC WATCH PEPSI BEZEL C. 1968
Item History & Price
This is a GREAT looking, all-original vintage Rolex men's GMT Master watch with matching numbers throughout. This has a 186xxxx serial number, that and the caseback (marked 1st quarter 1968) put its production in 1968. It comes with the original Rolex USA C&I bracelet, marked 1969. It did not come with Rolex box or papers. It is 100% guaranteed authentic and accurate as written, having just (10/20) been inspected and authenticated as written by my local Rolex dealer.
The R...olex GMT is one of the most desired watches by collectors everywhere. Originally designed for Pan-Am airlines so pilots with long flights could track time in more than one area simultaneously.
Movement: Rolex 26 jewel automatic, Calibre 1570 movement. It features: hours, minutes, sweep seconds, GMT 24 hour hand and date. It winds easily and is keeping good time per our observation of over 24 hours, but has not been professionally timed.
Bracelet: Original Rolex USA C&I 20mm "riveted" bracelet, marked 1969 (69) as shown. It measures has 12 links, and appears to be full-sized as it is huge on my 7 1/2 inch wrist.
Case: 39mm wide stainless steel case (not including lugs or crown) with: rotational stainless steel bezel with gorgeous faded red & blue "Pepsi" insert; stainless steel signed Rolex crown; with solid caseback (with rare Double Strike 1675) marked 1968.Crystal: Scratch resistant plastic crystal in excellent condition.
