Another Great Vintage Project – Rolex GMT-Master 1675 Blue/Red Bezel Replica Watch Review

Lately, I’ve developed a strong affinity for vintage Rolex watches. Following the successful creation of various vintage projects by a specialized watch factory, they have now unveiled another exceptional perfect replica Rolex. Does it ring a bell? Indeed, I previously showcased a GMT Master 2 watch with a blue and red bezel in a separate post, which you can revisit by clicking here. However, the GMT-Master 1675 being spotlighted today is an authentic vintage piece. Upon closer inspection of its dial and bracelet, you’ll notice distinctions from the previous model. Despite the variations, both timepieces hold a charm that captivates me and fellow vintage watch enthusiasts, making the 1675 particularly alluring. This review will delve deeper, offering a fresh perspective on vintage Rolex timepieces.

The aaa replica Rolex GMT is meticulously crafted to mirror every detail of its genuine counterpart, resulting in a flawless 1:1 copy that encompasses the case profile and all other components. The bi-directional rotating blue and red GMT bezel insert faithfully replicates the original, with a distinct separation between the blue and red sections. The primary contrast between this vintage replica Rolex GMT and contemporary Rolex GMT-Master 2 models can be found in its dial. The black dial showcases white printings, including the “SWISS-T<25” inscription positioned at 6 o’clock beneath the bar-shaped hour marker. Both the hands and hour markers are adorned with yellow luminescent material, while the GMT hand displays a red stem and a large triangular tip. The date window exhibits black font against a yellow background. Like its Rolex GMT counterparts, the 1675 replica features Mercedes-Benz hands.

Another prominent feature that sets it apart from replica Rolex GMT watches is its Jubilee bracelet, composed of five links. Presently, most Rolex GMT-Master timepieces come with the new Oyster bracelet, as the Jubilee bracelet was traditionally reserved for the Datejust or Day-Date series. The inclusion of the Jubilee bracelet on this 1675 GMT replica enhances the vintage appeal of Rolex, allowing enthusiasts to fully appreciate its classic charm. The incorporation of various retro elements makes this timepiece distinctive and a preferred option among the array of vintage watches available.

Here come the specifications:

Movement: Asian clone ETA 2836-2 Automatic, you could adjust the GMT hand through the crown
Case: 39.5mm*14.5mm, 316L stainless steel, blue/red bi-directional rotating gmt bezel

Beautiful Vintage Watch Review – Replica Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller 1665

With a wealth of vintage watches accumulated on my blog, ranging from Rolex and Omega to Panerai, each piece has garnered significant attention and engagement from readers. Today, I am thrilled to unveil another replica Rolex timepiece that is poised to spark a new wave of excitement and discussions – the Double Red Sea-Dweller. This highly coveted vintage watch is a must-have for collectors. Launched in the 1960s as an offshoot of the Submariner, early Sea-Dweller models boasted slim cases, distinctly different from the contemporary iterations featuring bulkier cases and crystals.

The vintage Double Red Sea-Dweller, a homage to the replica Rolex reference 1665, derives its intriguing name from a distinct feature found on the dial. Positioned above the white printings at 6 o’clock, two lines of red text – “SEA-DWELLER” and “SUBMARINER 2000” – provide the origin of this unique designation. Moreover, this Sea-Dweller stands out from its counterparts due to several dial intricacies. Notably, its hour markers are elliptical in shape, with the exception of a triangular marker at 12 o’clock and bar-shaped markers at 6 and 9 o’clock. Each marker boasts a subtle yellow tint, deviating from the traditional white markers. Thin white sticks denote the minute scales, while a date window with black numerals against a white backdrop is positioned at 3 o’clock. In a departure from the standard “SWISS MADE” label, the dial proudly displays “SWISS – T < 25” at the 6 o’clock position.

The bi-directional rotating black bezel on this replica watches emulates the functionality of its genuine counterpart. The case back is adorned with distinctive curved engravings, featuring the iconic Rolex Logo and the inscriptions “ROLEX,” “ROLEX PATENT,” “GAS ESCAPE VALVE,” and “OYSTER.” Mimicking the design of modern Sea-Dweller models, the case back is securely fastened with screws. Notably, numerical engravings adorn the back side of the bracelet, their exact significance remaining a mystery. Powering the replica 1665 is an Asian clone ETA 2846 movement, equipped with 17 jewels and oscillating at a frequency of 21,600 times per hour. A rigorous movement test revealed a slight deviation of only 7 seconds per day, as depicted in the accompanying image.

Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Bi-directional Black Bezel
