Great patina on your 1665

Very nice Seb. You sure know how to pick 'em. I'm still partial to your gilt GMT, so whenever you get tired of it...

Hi, thank you so much! Its a 6265 c. 1972. I believe Rolex began printing "Daytona" on the dials around 1974/1975!

After a year wearing the mega fat-font insert - shown in the first post which started this indulgent thread - I've just put the original faded insert back on the Gilt 1675, for another change. I love this 'denim/copper' insert, and feel it really belongs on the watch, much as I still love the mega fat one. Many Gilt GMTs I've seen from the same period sport similar inserts, in terms of font and colour fade, and the warmth with the gold lettering is very pleasing. Cheers, K
