Dimensions of the Rolex GMT 1675

I'm hoping to get some info on the dimensions of the GMT 1675 as there seems to be conflicting information on the dimensions of the watch. Some places (including in this forum) have it listed at 38mm (w/o crown and guards) (~45mm lug to lug and ~11mm thick), while others list it at 40mm and a 47mm lug to lug.

I'm a small-wristed fella (6.6 or so) and the 1675 has been calling my name. Can someone clarify this for me? Is the 38mm correct or is it 40mm?

Thanks!!

I don’t have the exact dimensions using a caliper but I can tell you that it wears great on my wrist and it’s 6.5 inches. I do not like large watches and I am very particular about watch size and how it looks. I have also found Rolex measurements can also not tell the full story of how watches wear.

I think the varying sizes are coming from the case vs bezel measurement of the 1675. The case under the bezel is about 38-39mm but the bezel to bezel measurement is closer to 39/40.

I can tell you though my 1675 seems to wear smaller than my 16710, for whatever reason. Here are some photos on my 6.5 inch wrist.

It’s going to be an excellent fit on a 6.5” wrist OP

Weight is another consideration… these 4 digits are feather weight compared to 6 digits

I measured it 38 without the bezel and 39 with the bezel and 47 lug to lug. It wears smaller than I expected (in the good way) almost like a dress watch, given the thinness and the weight.

You'll love it.

1675 wears small. It’s thin and light for a Rolex sports watch.
I wear mine more than my 16610 for that reason..
