Description: 1960 Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi Ref. 1675 gents wristwatch. The serial number is 622828, confirming it is from the year 1960. This 40mm timepiece features a Type 1 "SCOC" gilt chapter ring dial. The dial also includes a Mercedes hand set and small GMT hand as well as a date window located at the three o'clock position. The two-tone red and blue "Pepsi" bezel rotates bidirectionally. Due to age and wear, the bezel rotates freely and feels a bit loose. The stainless steel case includes pointed crown guards (PCG) which are coveted by collectors. It is powered by an automatic chronometer-rated calibre 1560 movement. The watch is accompanied by the original box from Santarelli in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The box is in excellent shape for its age. The watch is presented on a vintage Rolex link bracelet with clasp dated "3 56." The bracelet is Gay Freres, but the clasp reads Rolex. In my opinion this bracelet is not "aftermarket" as it seems it was specially commissioned for a client in Buenos Aires, Argentina. You will not find another bracelet like this. Given the condition of this watch, it leads me to believe the bracelet and clasp were both approved to be placed on the watch by Rolex. The most popular Rolex bracelets you see today were designed by Gay Freres. Let's not forget that Rolex purchased Gay Freres in 1998 as part of their industrial rationalisation. This piece is currently running and in outstanding condition. The colors on the bezel are vibrant and full, the hands and dial have absolutely no oxidation. The case has likely been polished at some point in its history. The crystal has minimal scratches and the bracelet has a reasonable amount of sag that is consistent with regular wear. The dial and hands glow vibrantly, and they all produce a consistent lume color when exposed to UV light. This watch is an absolute gem and has already been authenticated by Ebay. The item will be shipped within 24 hours of payment. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE AUTHENTICITY IS GUARANTEED! Any questions? Just message us. This is LXHABITS in partnership with Ebay authenticity guarantee.
