Hello guys, I have a nice Rolex GMT 1675 but am not very satisfied with the insert. Do you know where I could find high quality inserts with either VERY or MEGA fat fonts ? Either in faded state or still glossy. Many thanks in advance for the leads !!

I am trying to finish this project a 1655 conversion to 1675, I have a Gen dial or so I was told, but I noticed the Dial is too small for the dial opening and is almost impossible to center it. So I need a replacement Dial I saw the Yuki ones, is there another source? Thanks...

1962 “El Corniño” pcg gilt 1675 We watch collectors admire and fantasize over the minute details of vintage timepieces, particularly Rolexes (or Panerai): brownish tropical dials, creamy, puffy lume, yellowed tritium, perfectly faded bezels exposed to harsh seawater and burning suns. We dream... -
The parts for my next project just arrived Last week I received a new Cartel 1675 from Toro and just today the gen dial (refinished) arrived. The overall look of the new Cartel 1675 is pretty good. But the Lego lume dial hurts my eyes and I don't trust these clone movements. So I was looking...

I was doing some reading and research on crystals. In another thread Nanuq was talking about CWP Tropic 19s and my searching led me to a post on VRF about a guy named Michael Young and his T19 replacement crystals. The OP stated "Unfortunately, he didn't lug along his vintage Rolex collection but he...

Hey guys, I'm sure these questions come up a bunch so forgive me. I just purchased a 1675 from Toro. It's a very nice out of the box rep but I can see a few things that may cause issues for later modification so I am currently trying to decide if I should keep it stock and just do another build. I h...

Hey guys, I am possibly going to do one or two light builds of the 1675. I have two different stock reps in transit. I know there is always talk of crownguards amongst the fora and while I am not going to be too picky, I'm just curious why I am seeing what seems like two different kinds of CG shapes...

Need to refresh my memory on the exact specs but... Gen spider dial Gen xtal Gen insert Gen clasp Gen jubilee Reshaped...

Hello First of all, thanks to everyone that contributes to this forum. I have been checking out posts, researching and fawning over a lot of Rolex reps on this forum for a few months now and the information here has been invaluable. Recently I started my first modding project (ageing a Role...

OK, noob poster so apologies in advance if I've missed a protocol or if I'm breaching etiquette. I've recently cobbled together a good number of parts (from Raffles, WSO) for a couple of 'homage' sterile GMT builds. So I pack these off to a local watch guy I've had do some repair stuff for me in the...

Some of you may be familiar with these projects, especially one of them... Around August of 2011 I caught the GMT bug, because that was the year of GMTs, much like this year was the year of 1016s. I saw some of the work done by members here and knew I had to have one, but couldn't figure out - di...

Weird rehaut, too much room between the CGs and the crown, and a CG profile that's generally a little off. I think this is a high end rep, but would love the experts' take before I report it: 1979 ROLEX GMT MASTER I 1675, Matte Dial, Pepsi Bezel - Stainless Steel

I have a "Tritium service dial" that the seller claimed was genuine, and guaranteed that it was never refinished/relumed. Based on what I saw, I believed it to be a genuine Mk5 1675 dial. Do you agree? Here are a few pics: I checked with the usual suspects (at...

What is the best vintage Jubilee bracelet? I'm kind of curious about one for my 6542 (although I know it is not technically correct, it appears that a good deal of them were either special ordered that way or modified down the line) and would like to get the best possible one I can... Also, I kno...

I took inventory today of my watch collection. During the process, I shot quite a few pics. Here are a couple of my dear sweet darlings (old veteran members will recall these two I am sure). Some details... Circa '65-'66 1675 with original small GMT hand (from the factory). Yes, it came t...
