Love for Pepsi... Rolex GMT Master inside

Apr 17, 2014,00:06 AM
 

OK, the inserts are Pepsi, not the stoppers, but it was hard to resist not taking these photos:

1675 Radial Dial, from 1976: A configuration I love a lot with these centered indexes which make me think of the first GMTs, such as the 6542 and the 1675 Chapter Ring:


1675 Gilt Dial from 1966: A flawless deep glossy black dial, with this special touch due to the round indexes which didn't develop the same patina than the others...


GMT love drives you to some crazy ideas... Sometimes.  wink

Now, I still have to hunt a nicer insert for my 1675 Gilt, clearer than the one I have, though.

Best,

Nicolas.

et bravo. Do you have any idea how rare these mini/ radial dials 1675 are? I believe they are not even presented in Mondiani & Ravagnani's book. Any ideas as to why they only had such a short run? A trial? A mistake? In advance thank you for casting l...

Some facts...

 
 By: amanico : April 30th, 2014-05:18
These dials were made by Beyeler, for Rolex, and they were fitted in 1675 GMT Master within the 4, 2xx xxx to the 5, 6xx xxx case number range. Which puts us around 1975 / 1977. I didn't see any before, any after. So, a three years production in a total o...

much appreciated. Is this "common" knowledge? I can't find anything published on this very model. BR

Do a search on 1675 Radial Dial or Mini Dial.

I spent quite some time to find some informations before getting mine, just to be sure of what I was buying. This rangeseems to be undisputable. After, you can have a bit before this range, or a bit after, but the comfortable zone is within this range.
