1975 ROLEX 1675 GMT MASTER ROOT BEER MATTE NIPPLE DIAL

This is the best example of a ROOT BEER that has come across our bench. One owner watch, with everything on the watch head original to the watch, including the dial, bezel, crown, and entire hand set. Dial is completely untouched.

DIAL: Completely original Matte Nipple Dial. Dial is the best example we've ever come across in a Root Beer. Near Perfect (for a vintage watch mind you), untouched, all indices intact and looking gorgeous. It has aged naturally to a gorgeous light burgundy color.

HANDS: Entire handset is completely original, with lume fully in tact.

CASE: Case has received a light polish in the past. Still retaining strong lugs.

MOVEMENT: Movement has never been touched. Running very strong with zero issues.

BEZEL: Single color GMT Bezel insert is original to the watch (YES, rolex did make two tone root beers with single color bezels!).

BRACELET: Bracelet is 100% authentic Rolex made in the USA jubilee. There was a period of time where Rolex outsourced it's bracelet to the US. We do not know if the bracelet is original to the watch, but we do know it's a genuine Rolex article.

WHY THIS WATCH Eberhard is a very interesting company that still makes swiss made timepieces inspired by Italian fashion. The Traversetolo is arguably the mascot of the brand. This watch oozes utilitarian style, with it's huge lume points, and stand-out crown. You get a display back that showcases the Unitas-Based manual wind movement.

The watch comes with box and paperwork (not filled out), as well as the straps you see in the box, including the Eberhard strap with the OEM Eberhard buckle.

WHY THIS WATCH This Longines diver is a reinterpretation of a 1960s longines diver watch, the reference 7150-1. At 42mm, and over 13mm thick, this watch has a lot of wrist presence and wears large due to the long lugs. The top crown is used to turn the bezel for timing dives (or parking meters!). This watch is a great entry level watch for someone wanting to get into mechanical watches.

THE LITTLE DETAILS This watch was purchased from an authorized dealer, and includes box, papers, and warranty card (watch is out of warranty). It also comes on a special Rubber B diving strap which is in near mint condition, as well as the original Longines strap (60%). The case is in excellent condition, with normal wear from casual use. All mechanical functions are working properly.

WHY THIS WATCH

The Omega Seamaster "Soccer Timer" is a very unique vintage piece with a really cool complication. The sub-counter at 3PM calculates the elapsed time for a soccer match (90 minutes). It's split into two colored halves, in order to indicate the time remaining in each 45-minute half.

Aside from the mechanics, this watch has some studding aesthetics. The orange seconds hand, and colorful subdial give the dial nice contrast. The movement is Omega's caliber 861, which is the same movement fitted in the Speedmaster ref. 145.022, that was released around same era this Soccer Timer was produced. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The serial number on the movement is 29m making this a 1969 watch, however the caseback shows 145.016-68. Our guess is that Omega probably just used some spare 1968 casebacks in 1969. The dial is in fantastic condition for its age, showing some minor wear particularly between 10 and 2. The case is clean, and has been polished in the past. Bracelet is in great shape, with moderate stretch. Movement is running strong and resetting to zero. No box or papers.

WHY THIS WATCH

A perennial favorite, the IWC Portuguese Chronograph is arguably IWCs most recognizable and highest selling watch. This watch remained largely unchanged until the unveiling of the new reference IW371605 which replaced the Valjoux based movement with a new In House Movement. This particular version is the 3714, which has the same creamy silver dial, blued hands/indices, and reliable Valjoux module that made this watch famous for decades. 

ABOUT THIS WATCH

This watch is in excellent condition, with only very minor wear throughout the case. This watch was fully serviced in 2021 by our in house watchmaker. 

About This Watch

Here we have a Hublot 45mm Fusion ceramic watch. This watch measures 45mm and is all ceramic. The strap is an OEM Hublot Rubber strap. The bezel is a fixed bezel, done in ceramic as well. The watch comes with the full set, including outer box, inner box, Hublot warranty card and receipt.

Why this watch

Hublot really knows how to do ceramics. The case-work on this watch is done really well, with a full ceramic case and bezel. You won’t have to worry about scratching this watch as ceramic is among the most scratch resistant materials. Before I tried this watch on, I assumed it would be way too big on my wrist, as I usually wear 38mm-40mm watches. The watch actually wears surprisingly well on smaller wrists, due to the lightness of the ceramic case and the the slim profile. The rubber strap helps too, especially in humid weather. The dial on this watch was another surprise, as it the indices really do a good job of reflecting light, against the carbon fiber dial.

A Little History

The Rolex Submariner 16610 was released in 1988 and was powered by the brands longest serving movement, the automatic Rolex calibre 3135. The watch was originally fitted with black glossy dials with T25 tritium hour markers and hands. Tritium dials were eventually phased out in the late 90's with watches being fitted with "SWISS" only dials in 1999. "SWISS MADE" dials were fitted from 2000 onwards. These later dials featured Super-LumiNova filled hour marker and hand. The Rolex Submariner 16610 originally featured lug holes but there were deleted in 2003. The 16610 was produced until 2010 when it was replaced by reference 116610 with a larger case and ceramic bezel.

About This Watch

This watch is in fantastic condition and showing only minor wear. This particular example is an F series. The F series ran for 3 years from 2003-2005. This one is likely a later example as there are no lug holes. The case is in fantastic condition, showing minor wear from normal use, and sharp lugs. Likely received a light polish in the past. The bezel is very clean with no visible scratches to the naked eye. The crystal is clean with no scratches. Movement is running strong and date is changing at midnight. This watch was originally purchased from European Watch Company a very reputable Pre-Owned retailer out of Boston. It comes with the receipt from European Watch Company. No box or other paperwork.

Why this watch

If you like vintage Rolex, but have to have the modern fixens, this one’s for you. Sapphire crystal, a very comfortable bracelet and a bullet proof movement. This watch straddles vintage and modern perfectly.
