This watch doesn’t quite fall into the category as the Rolex above, but it sure is awesome. Rolex GMT Master 1675 in 18k Gold w/ Tiffany Dial If you’re looking for that one Rolex to start your collection or are need one to be the jack-of-all-trades, this is that watch. It has been well taken care of, includes boxes and papers, and looks nearly new for a 13 year old watch, although I would ask the seller for more current pictures. This is also the “M” designated 14060 which means is has to upgraded movement. Now that these have been around for a while, the earlier tritium dials are starting to show nice patina as well, although the luminova is arguably more functional. The version here is my preference with the classic two lines of text on the dial and - of course - lug holes.

It’s fortunate that these can be found with relative ease and can be attained for less then many modern Rolex watches. Throw this on a NATO or rubber strap and is still looks outstanding and provides the wearer with infinite options. The proportions are perfect and represent one of the last in the lineage of Rolex tool watches. There is literally no situation where this watch won’t fit in from a beach, in the wilderness, to a wedding, to a black tie event, and everything else in between. It’s pure functional tool watch while looking like a million bucks. There’s a watch that, no matter what’s in my collection, I always tell myself I need.
