The GMT Concorde is a very special watch.

Jul 21, 2015,18:17 PM
 

Nicolas,

The GMT Concorde is quite rare and was only made for about a year.

When I first saw Bill's watch It was spectacular and one day I would love to own this model. 

Well, time came and Bill had great knowledge, he was very resourceful and helped explain what to look. I'm very grateful to him, thank you Bill.

Here's a few images of mine, it's all original from 68 on a jubilee bracelet.

A provocative title, for a huge revelation, and a very interesting watch. Yes, I am not a fan of colored gold watches, but you know, here, at PuristSPro, we have many evils as friends, who are always willing to widen your horizons, and feed your appetite....

Nicolas - thank you for sharing. I had a similar experience with gold. But in life you learn, try, learn some more and then realise that what you once thought unacceptable and not fitting with your style, values and perception actually fits quite well if ...

This is something I noticed quite frequently in watch collecting. The colored gold Rolexes reminded me of 80's styling for a long while but I've been looking with more appeal to two-tone or full gold Submariners and GMTs lately. Another proof that taste c...

Gold... and full gold moreover ! You ! :) GMT in Gold is super cool, especially that brown/bordeaux one. Same for the 1680 in Gold, it is as extreme as it is cool imho. Special pieces, a Gold GMT simply make sense for your love of GMTs. For the full Gold,...

Yes, maybe it is due to the fact that GMT Masters are among my fav watches, maybe because I started this hobby with a GMT Master... But honestly, I couldn't expect such a positive reaction, once on my wrist... I was thinking that it was maybe time for me ...

Expanding your horizon is forward momentum and positive growth! The more I study GMTs, the more I prefer the original GMT, and this example is truly amazing, the 'Concord hands' from what I have come to learn, but also too, for me, the round gold indexes ...

I love this watch

 
 By: daytonaman799 : July 18th, 2015-05:49
Saw one in the flesh in the recent auctions in NY and it really was phenomenal. The hands are so different from other GMT hands. I wonder how many were made?

Tough to say how many were made. We can only say how many we saw. ;)

Something between 1.7xx,xxx and 2.0xx,xxx so the full range is 300,000 production spread. As for the years it is always hard to say but 1968 falls into the range. But as we know they can be sold at later dates to include 1969. On the early side 1967 is po...
