Literature For another example of a yellow gold GMT reference 1675 , please see Rolex Collecting Modern and Vintage Wristwatches Volume I by Oswaldo Patrizzi , page 379 .
The GMT-Master reference 1675 replaced its predecessor reference 6542 and stayed in production until 1980 . The reference 1675 differs from the 6542 as the case is fitted with crown guards and the bezel is no longer bakelite , instead , it is fitted with metal inserts . The present watch is preserved in very appealing and original condition and still retains its gold riveted Oyster bracelet . The case is very crisp with nicely beveled edges and the ‘ nipple ’ dial is in excellent condition .
