Wanted to add this fun one as I continue down the vintage path.

The hunt continues for a few grails...

AS1 · 10 February 2016, 02:50 AM

congrats Paul! really cool piece, and nice to see you adding vintage to your already amazing collection.

traf · 10 February 2016, 02:53 AM

B-E-A-utiful!! Both very fine examples of the glory days of vintage sports Rolex. Now all you need is a nice big red to round out the vintage land sea and air theme 👌

05carbondrz · 10 February 2016, 03:41 AM

Can't beat a nice 1675!! Congrats,You are officially addicted

texex91 · 10 February 2016, 03:42 AM

It's addicting for sure.

Any strap recommendations? I see some pretty cools ones you gents have and this GMT is begging for one.

Nothing can be better than that rivet C&I IMHO. Great watch indeed.

droptopman · 10 February 2016, 03:53 AM

Very fine example. Congratulations. I am in the same boat, as I get older so does my collection. Hail the vintage....

For straps check out Bulang & Sons/JPM. Excellent straps for vintage watches. JPM has his own site but also makes B&S straps.

I 2nd this recommendation.I will say that GMT's look better with thinner Straps due to the slimmer case profile.

Zoran · 10 February 2016, 03:57 AM

Great acquisition Paul!
Love the 1675 with vibrant inserts and matte dial!

I agree with the above mentioned strap dealers and will add GLCstraps in Italy.
I purchased 2 straps from them last week and it went perfect!

Enjoy that stunner!

theflywrist · 10 February 2016, 03:57 AM

Love that! Amazing!!!
Congrats

Aceldama · 10 February 2016, 04:02 AM

Thanks my friends...as for what's next, the next two will be 'harder' to source to say the least. But will be worth the wait--and might even throw in another fun one or two while I'm waiting

Iflylo · 10 February 2016, 04:10 AM

Oh Man, that's a beauty. Looks not polished down, the holes are thick with pins not showing. Love that rivet bracelet, looks so cool..please put it on a strap and sell me the bracelet

Huge congrats..

Oh and with B & S and Fedex shipping, it is usually less than 10 days to reach me from order date.

Thank you friends...the vintage is so much fun and I appreciate the history of these watches

swish77 · 10 February 2016, 09:32 AM

Fabulous 1675! And a great set. My favorite part might be the little green "1675" sticker. Very cool. Big congrats!

05carbondrz · 10 February 2016, 09:35 AM

I would recommend a single thickness Horween Shell Cordovan with the minimal stitch for a GMT.They compliment each other perfectly.I have bought from this Seller and am extremely happy with his product and service:
