Thoughts on this 1675

Hello

I have been offered this GMT, it is a complete set and comes with 3 service receipts the last in 2009 So I believe it to be all genuine. I haven't opened caseback. The watch is really clean the bracelet looks new as does the crystal and bezel

I'm not sure on the serial number I forgot to ask but can get it later on. Apologies for the photos their not the best taken on my phone in a rush.

What is the partial serial number?

It has a luminova (service) dial and possibly hands, hard to tell with those pics..

As far as the watch being original, it appears to be all original Rolex with some Rolex service parts. Among the replacement parts are the dial, hands, bezel insert and probably the bracelet. The watch appears nice and new if that is what you are looking for in a vintage GMT-Master.

Thanks, I was thinking its in really good condition and newish and all parts appear newish. Saying that, the last service was 600 I don't think that would buy a dial and bracelet but who knows. At least it's original.

The guys reserved it for me for 30 days, so I will see if there's some budging on the price

It's a nice watch if you like the idea of having a new insert, dial and hands. What's the asking price?

£5k in pounds around 7500 in usd. But these watches are harder to come across in the UK and cost more as opposed to in the states
As well it's hard to come across ones with all paperwork being 100% original albeit service parts and with 3 previous services and even the original receipt for the watch

$7500 for a watch with luminova replacement parts?! That's a no-go for me.

As the OP stated, these full packages are getting hard to find. The asking price is a steal in my opinion...

My thoughts exactly, for this price and with papers, receipt and service history as well as being 100% original albeit service parts its a deal too good to pass.

Funnily enough I just bought a 1675 gmt a week ago and will sell that now and then buy this as the jeweller is not actively selling it and will keep it for me

That's the price before negotiation
I'll be paying around 4500-4750
