A blast from the past, a Vintage Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi 1675 serial 2.88 Million dating back to early 1970s, a highly collectible and very rare timepiece that simply doesn’t appear in the market often.
Consistent with the series of the watch, this dial is period correct with the watch being mark II, identifying following features:
- The ‘Rolex’ printing is thick and the letters are more square than other matte dials, the majority of which are much wider than they are tall.
- The alphabets L and E in ‘Rolex’ are spaced much closer to each other than the rest of the letters.
- The ‘Oyster Perpetual’ and SCOC text retain the heavy serifs of the Mark 1.5.
- The lume is flat and does not appear as waffled as the late Mark 1 dials.
The watch appears to have been polished at some stage in its life although it still shows sharp edges and corners as can be seen in the photos. The bracelet shows sagging and considerable stretching consistent with the age of the watch. All parts are original Rolex with none being aftermarket or non-Rolex including the watch case, caseback, crown, crystal, bracelet and clasp. The caseback sticker as shown in the photo is from the fact that the caseback on this piece is replaced with a brand new one by Rolex during the service.
The bezel shows fading, along with the dial which shows aging and patina throughout the dial elements.
The bracelet will go to the maximum size of up to 7.5″ wrist size/circumference. The clasp is firm and holds the watch as it should.
