A fantastic example of an iconic watch. The 1675/3 was the first "Rootbeer" to hit the market, and our model comes with the rare "Nipple" indices dial. 

Nothing other than the bracelet clasp has been replaced. The clasp has been replaced with an original period-correct Rolex clasp. The hands and dial show a slight patina, and the date wheel has developed a beautiful cream colour. The case shows little to no wear, and the crystal is immaculate. The bracelet shows minimal stretch and looks incredibly fresh. It comes with an original period-correct inner and outer box.

The movement is running perfectly with a strong amplitude.
