It’s no surprise. The iconic super clone Rolex GMT-Master and GMT-Master II have long been available in yellow gold. Even the inaugural ref. 6542 was offered in gold for just a fleeting period, spanning 1958 and ’59. While we could have chosen that particular model, it was the affordable fake Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 that laid the foundation for the timepiece recognized by most today. An aluminum insert replaced the Bakelite bezel of its predecessor, and the movement underwent an enhancement.
As many of you are aware, the luxury replica Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 was one of Rolex’s enduring references, remaining in production from 1959 until 1980. The gold ref. 1675/8 came in two variations, each sporting a nipple dial. The first flaunts a black dial and bezel insert, while the second, as pictured, features a lustrous brown dial and matching bezel insert. Both imitations look resplendent on the gold Jubilee bracelet, a quintessential pairing for a Rolex GMT-Master replica.
However, given the distinctive allure of the brown hue exclusive to the GMT-Master, it’s our top choice. Yet, I wouldn’t turn down the striking elegance of a black variant adorning my wrist. During the production span of the ref. 1675, Swiss movement replica Rolex utilized multiple calibers. Initially, it housed the 18,000vph caliber 1565, later replaced by the upgraded 19,800vph caliber 1575. Rolex introduced hacking seconds to the latter in the early ’70s without altering the reference.
The full-gold ref. 1675/8 and its successor, the ref. 16758, stand as some of the most exquisite GMT-Master models ever crafted by high-quality fake Rolex UK. Expect asking prices for well-maintained examples of the former to commence around €30K, swiftly ascending. In contrast, the full-gold ref. 16578 starts at approximately €25K, with pristine specimens available for under €40K. While not exactly nominal, the watch undeniably commands attention.
