My New GMT 1675
Just purchased this classic GMT Master today from a friend and dropped it off at my watchmaker for much needed service. Will follow up with more pictures when the watch is done.

Congrats, Mike. Hope to see it in person someday. Nothing worse than sending a acquisition off for service though.

Congrats! I'm still searching for that perfect 1675 ... and 16750 ... and 16700 ... and 16760 ... and 16710. As for the 6542 bakelite - only in my dreams!

That looks great, I like that style "Rolex" printed on the dial.
Jubilee bracelet will be comfortable. I'm sure the watch will polish up real well. Great model the 1675, you really gotta love that
