larry my friend,

nice watch, congrats !! ... but as you should know, the bracelet is not right for your 1675 ... but who cares ... ))

[GeorgB]

I see a mark in the clasp. This stamp and the pins are typical for the noth-american market. Here was can find this type of bracelet til mid of the 70th.

Just wow!!

hiya werner,

i'm 100% positive that this bracelet originally came w/ the watch. why do you think it should not? the other gmt that i did not buy had the exact same bracelet. educate me o wise one

i should have said "original owner" in my previous post. he had to sell both his gmt's for some surgery this particular one was given to him as an award and he just kept it for some reason.

< shark >>><

[GeorgB]

can you provide a serial number of the watch for further check?

[thesharkman]

hi georgb,

sure, it's 5,136,8XX.

ragazzo my friend,

ok, here we go ...
the 1675 came with gilt dial untill about 1965/66, the first folded bracelets were seen about 1967/68 ... so, if your 1675 came from 66-68, the bracelet could be the original one ... ))))

anyway, enjoy this beauty !!!
best

werner,

i am enjoying it! the only thing that i find odd is that both of the original owner's gmts had this exact bracelet on them. this bracelet can clearly be seen to have never been worn.

so, u think a ref 7836 or 78360 should have come w/ this one, eh?

< shark >>><

[Smile]

yes larry, definetly a 7836 ... the 78360 started probably with the 16750 ... but if you love the look of this combination ... keep it, it looks very good !!

have a nice day
w.

ok, then this watch is from ~ 1977



As we see on you pic, the middle link has nearly the same width as the two outer links and the rivets have a hole in the center. That and the stamp an the clasp indicates the bracelet as a US market bracelet.

As the foldet bracelet did not directly replace the rivetted bracelet and Rolex has different designs and launch dates for regional markets, it is not unusual to find a watch with a 5 mio serial with both a rivetted or a foldet bracelet.

As I can see this is a correct combination.

[Smile]

george ... 10 years after the folding bracelet ?? ... i can't imagine ... ))

[GeorgB]

hi werner,

die in den USA und in Kanada sind in diesem Fall halt etwas später dran.

Nach meiner Info wurden die genieteten Qysterbänder für den US Markt direkt in den Staaten gefertigt. Evtl. hat das etwas mit dem delay zu tun.

Aber du hast recht: In Europa wurden Ende der 60er bereits Foldet ausgeliefert und Anfag der 70er das genietete eingestellt.

Wieder mal Rolex-Mystery !!

[thesharkman]

georg/werner,

it was 2am here and you made me pull out the bracelet because you made me curious. i've never really did any research on the gmt bracelet combinations; so, i wasn't sure what to think. i am 100% sure that the bracelet as shown above is what came with the watch - the original owner is not a watch person and would have no reason to swap.

anyway, what i found was that the clasp is stamped 1977. i think the entire stamp is something like: "c & i 77." i'll shoot some pics when i get home tonite.
