Hoping to get this Rolex Ref 1675 GMT Master Pointy Crown Guards in the New Year 2009..soon.

Err...here's also looking forward to getting more of
FINE pieces of Vintage Rolex watches...
in the New Year 2009...especially during the
extreme challenging economic Tsumani that the
21st Century World is experiencing...currently.

More details would be posted on this RARE Rolex Ref 1675 GMT Master
with so called Pointy Crown Guards or PCG...but
without...the following features which would soon follow
hopefully once Orchi is able to find the suitable
replacements for...

1. the 1st Generation Gilt Dial that's supposed to have
Outer Chapter Ring or Minute Track...for which many did
NOT even know that such Dial even existed before.

2. the small arrow 24 hour hand...which is prerequisite to
the early Vintage GMT Master watches during the 50s & early 60s...

Here are the brief pictures taken on this FINE
specimen...

Rolex Ref 16760 GMT Master II No "DATE" - FATLady(New addition)

Err...this is a latest new addition of Rolex Ref 16760 GMT Master II
dubbed as FATLady which was purchased recently from Hess Fine Art of USA.

This earliest 1st Generation Rolex GMT II Ref 16760 is RARE due to its
specific feature on Dial or the lack of it that makes it very rare n unique...
without the plot "DATE" after "OYSTER PERPETUAL"...hence also dubbed as...
err..."Rolex Fat Lady with No DATE"...LOL.

1st Up...with the exception of the watch being found to have
an aftermarket generic Bezel Insert...the rest of the watch has been
thoroughly checked out fine...

A couple of days ago...Orchi has ordered a new original replacement bezel..
n it should arrive within 2 months time...from RSC.

Here are some initial scans taken on the watch...
More details to follow...
