This transitional GMT-Master wristwatch was manufactured at the time before the 1675 had its true identity . The case , still without crown guards , is hanging on to its 6542 roots where its bezel has been upgraded with the metal insert .
Seldom seen on the market , these gold transitional 1675 are very collectible today .
