One previous owner 1675 GMT from 1968.
Ok so I was having a tidy up and move around etc and thought that you might enjoy some new pictures of my very first vintage GMT purchase made back in April 2015. The watch was made during 1968 and sold in December 1969 when the retail price was £100 as can be seen in the catalogue. If you look closely at the hang tag and Rolex booklet you can see that it has the UK reference for the watch which was 1015 and also that it was supplied with a 6636 bracelet. The set also has all the paperwork for the three services it has had in its life which had been carried out at Rolex UK in Bexley as well as a written history of the watch from the previous owner. I also sourced a NOS insert for it to replace the service insert it was wearing! Please enjoy the pictures.

Nice set Lee!
The 6636 bracelets are worth a small fortune now, a nice bonus for your watch.

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing this beautiful set.
There is something very special about having all the bits and pieces with a vintage watch. Some of it is psychological, but a lot of it is the fun of going through it from time to time, knowing that it is a "complete" watch. |

The catalog brings up an interesting point. Why are there several models not available in the United Kingdom that are listed? Do the have anything in common?
