Up for sale is a beautifully restored vintage beauty. This GMT-Master ref. 1675 dates back to 1968 (according to the serial number), and includes an original case, period-correct Rolex USA C&I rivet bracelet (which is super rare), and original calibre 1570 movement. Also included is a 78360 bracelet that was purchased from the local AD in April of 2022. The dial is a super luminova factory service dial, while the hands, bezel, crystal and crown are factory service as well. These references are becoming harder to source, and the price reflects everything as mentioned - I purchased it here on CWC from a reputable seller. Further details below:
