Description: Wonderful 1675 MK1 Long E with wonderful patina, mega vintage inlay and box and papers.
The case is in wonderful condition. It has been carefully polished for the first time about a year ago. Therefore, it has wonderful proportions, beauiful sharp edges and a top matte finish on the top of the case.
We took a special picture of the blood groove on the back of the case to perfectly document the quality of the case.
The black GMT-Master dial is in very good condition and shows a great patina. It is the MK1 or longE variant, in which the middle line of the E from Rolex is the same length as the upper and lower cross lines.
The condition of the dial is great. It shows a perfect print with no weaknesses, a great strong and fairly even patina that immediately catches your eye. You can spot two minimal scratches on the dial with a loupe, but this has no effect on the beauty and charisma.
The hands are in very good condition with a consistent patina to the dial.
The wonderfully aged inlay is certainly a highlight. I love these wonderful denim/orange tones combined with the bold print of the numbers. Of course, the inlay has one or two small weaknesses on the edge, but overall it is perfect for the watch and has an amazing look.
This great vintage GMT spent many decades in beautiful South America, where it has been sold in 1970. Specifically, it has been sold on March 2, 1970 by the Rolex concessionaire WALSER WALD in Buenos Aires / Argentina. What is particularly nice is that the original and rare box with the correct sticker (1675/a/b) has been preserved.
The wonderful folded Jubile bracelet is in great condition with only light stretch. It is also ideal for large wrists and with the clasp code 3/69, the bracelet is original from the time of delivery.
Conclusion: Great vintage GMT with great delivery and wonderful charisma.
