Rolex GMT SS/14K YG ref 1675 “Rootbeer” circa 1970

A great looking vintage Rolex SS/14K YG “Root beer” GMT circa 1970. Featuring a beefy lug 39mm diameter case with  bi-directional 24 hour two tone gold and bronze bezel and acrylic crystal. With truly great looking original so called “root beer” dial with gold rivet nipple indexes, gilt applied Rolex logo, and gilt luminous hands.

The dial is the warm mahogany brown color we find on the earlier Rootbeer models. Later models have a more glossy “Hires Rootbeer mug” glossy finish. The dial is in exceptional condition with great color, and fully intact tritium lume on the dial as well as the hands.

Powered by self winding caliber 1575 movement with sweep seconds and date, and 24 hour second time zone arrow tipped hand. Completed an extremely nice condition Rolex SS/14K YG D link Jubilee bracelet with folding deployant clasp.

Fully serviced and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation. Your purchase includes our signature fine glazed leather watch pouch, great for travel or storage. A $65 value!

We receive many requests for the root beer GMTs. Most requests are for examples with nice condition original bracelets. This is typically a hard request to fill as bracelets are often very stretched out or later replacements. The current example is properly marked 62523H14 on the clasp and with date code E corresponding to a production date from 1980. Both the condition of the case, dial, hands, bezel insert, and movement, and an excellent condition bracelet all contribute to this being a great example for any collector or enthusiast.
