Check out my ~40yr GMT 1675 after complete rehaul
Hi guys,
I'm very much new to this forum. I'm also new to owning Rolex and even newer at photographing Rolex! My father recently gave me his vintage 1965 GMT-Master. Details are as follows: Case ref: 1675 Caliber 1575GMT (non-quickset) Case serial: 1820XXX Dial: Matte Black Bracelet: 93150 with 580 end-pieces (a sub bracelet) Prior service date: sometime in June 1987(!) After 20 years without a service, merely washing my hands wearing it resulted in immediate water ingress. Not wasting a minute I took it to the RSC and requested: New dial (the old tritium dial had lost its luminosity) New hands (same as above) New bezel insert New acrylic crystal Full movement service and calibration Bracelet and case refinish ____________________________ Grand total: Euro 515 (~692.754 USD) I know, I know, damn expensive but I live in Europe so everything is more expensive here! Take a look at the pictures too: I must say, photographing a watch is MUCH more difficult than it seems. After having taken about 80 images, only the 4 shown are actually any good. Either my camera sucks or I do. On the same note, I noticed that using the flash on close-ups reveals little scratches and even dust(!) which really spoils the pic. Guys, tell me what you think about this marvellous 40yr old watch. I am only 23! |
