1972 Rolex GMT-Master 1675

Case: The thick and even case has just returned from polishing showing sharp prominent bevels. The blue and red bezel insert is also in excellent condition showing only very light wear from use. The inset has faded uniformly across both portions of the insert.

Dial: The matte black dial is excellent showing little if any wear for its age. The lume has aged to a warm vibrant goldenrod hue and the hands match perfectly.

Bracelet: The NOS Oyster bracelet is excellent with the factory protective stickers still in place. The clasp is stamped with a 2009 date code.

Accessories: None.

Notes: I love that the passing of time, the very reason for which these watches are created is also the mechanism that makes certain vintage pieces so special. Sometimes heavy-handed, sometimes with a light touch. Time or at least our perception of it strips away the newness and replaces it with something slightly less ordered but infinitely more beautiful.
