Vintage GMT

[repaircraftsvc]

This same as other post but better pix?

[TimeLord2]

Definitely looks like it has the same gold accents but different placement of the cornet on the top. Not that we could see the top on that other set. Might be it. The top also does not have the chamfered corners on top like the other examples I sent you, so I do think you are on to something here. Perhaps @Springer will chime in on this one as he is the resident Guru IMHO on all things GMT Master. You also might try contacting Jacek at Tropical watch as it does seem like he has a lot of experience with vintage GMTs and a few Concordes. He is a member on this forum and you could Message him directly through TRF. Here is one of his listings: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...light=concorde That said I do think the box in that image is for a president Datejust, not a GMT Master 1675/8. Although, it does look good in that box. This one has just the papers: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...light=concorde

Here is my paper work looks just the ones with that one box.
Well i guess just wait and see if anyone comes up with the correct box for sure then see if we can find one to buy.
It's getting harder to cowboy up at 89 and my health is getting worst every time I see a Dr so not spending as much time looking
Found this don't know if it is correct.
Rare vintage N.O.S Rolex Collectible 60's green strip watch box 68.00.1 Submariner 5513 1680 6265 5512 1675 6542.

Well I guess I will have to give up on finding a box for my 1969 GMT
Master Concorde ref 1675.
Right now I think the box might be a 06.00.06 BUT can not prove it and I guess no one has their original box with the watch to show me.

You might try just posting a new thread in the Vintage section specifically asking about the box. Something like "Presentation box for gold 1969 GMT Master 1675/8 Concorde? Anybody?". Then include an image of your watch and a few of the potential candidates you found. Another set here: https://www.watchprosite.com/collect...9286.10381091/

Thanks but my illness is making it harder for me to do all I would like.

I'm sorry to hear that. I will post it for you. There must be someone on this channel that can answer that question.

Fascinating thread …

[repaircraftsvc]

I would like to know more about box and number in post 120 and 121
I am giving my watch to my son when I fall off the end of the world and the Box is all I am missing to go with all the original paper work and the book I composed from the web about the GMT Master watch history and my GMT Master Concorde's history.

[repaircraftsvc]

Maybe it is this. Said it is for 1675 in listing doesn't 16758
Can anyone confirm that it would be for a 1969 GMT Master ref 16758 from what you may know?

[TimeLord2]

There was no designation for the 1675 in solid gold initially. I have a 1675 in gold and stainless which becomes a 16753 once the next reference 16750 comes out around 1979 with the updated movement. I think collectors differentiated the older 1675 reference with the /3 for stainless and /8 for solid gold like your watch but it was never really part of the actual reference number. Yours is still just considered a 1675. At least that is my understanding…

I did find this in the TRF archive regarding box numbers. Perhaps it needs to be added to or can give you some boxes to rule out based on year or the actual reference that is applied to that box. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=74592. From that list it looks like the 06.00.06 is for a DateJust and a Daytona reference. The Daytona 6263 was released around 1963 and was in production until early 70s, so that box could be the one as I think the sports models were packaged in the same box. Although, again, not sure if the precious metal (PM) references came in a slightly larger box or not.

6263 Aug-82 06.00.06
6694 xx/1971 06.00.06

Here is one with the watch holder on EBAY: https://www.ebay.com/itm/22586479209
Could be it, as I read somewhere the GMTs of year range are supposed to have the green faux leather box with beige interior.

Here I am at Air America reunion in Reno NV in 2005 wearing my
Rolex GMT Master Concorde watch and gold bracelet. Drinking beer with the late night folks.

[repaircraftsvc]

I keep looking at the 06.00.06 it seems to fit my watch time period but I see lot of variances of it so which one?

I think that may be the one too. This is the link I tried to post earlier. Also a 06.00.06 but with a beige interior. This one is not in the best of shape on the interior. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225864792098

[repaircraftsvc]

Yes i think that is the right one

[repaircraftsvc]

OR Is this the box for my GMT Master 16758 Concorde watch?
Let's hear from all of you out there.

[repaircraftsvc]

OR This one looking better as a candidate 54.00.8

[TimeLord2]

Turns out the number is 54.00.3 and I do think this is the right box as it is a big box. Here is another but unfortunately not complete. I think it is going to be a little hard to find one of these in good condition. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226299154798

[repaircraftsvc]

Here is another box with a GMT Master watch in it.
NOTE this early watch NO crown guards.Has Concorde hands.
Shot with my camera.
Paper work looks same as mine

[repaircraftsvc]

OK Looking for box 54.00.3 Not 8

I'm embarrassed to admit I had to look those places up! I've lived in Texas my whole life, from Corpus to Lubbock, and still constantly learn of "new" places. Where is Coat Neck?

[repaircraftsvc]

Well my son would say about 2 feet from it's ass.But it is 25 miles west of Cleburne
TX near the Brazos river south of 67.
