Incoming 1960 1675

My first Rolex was a 16700. I had a 16710 for a short time, but neither really spoke to me. Thought maybe I just preferred Subs over GMTs. Then in early 2020, I tried on a 1960 1675, and I was mesmerized by it and felt amazing on the wrist.

Toward the end of the year I happen to find another opportunity and went for it.

With a New Year incoming, hoping for a better 2021 for everyone.

No, this one was purchased from a fellow collector about a week prior to posting the inquiry of the one on eBay.

Price on eBay looked low based on the provided pics, I had to inquire about it.
