Watch in the Box Episode 1 | Bob's Watches

Here at Bob’s Watches, we receive thousands of timepieces from all over the world, each with its own story and unique personality. From unwanted used timepieces to vintage Rolex watches; we even get in a few fake watches every now and then. However, we have no idea exactly what will be inside the incoming packages. Introducing ‘Watch in the Box’ - a brand-new video series where we take one random incoming box and open it up on video, so that you can be part of the big reveal. From vintage collectibles that are worth a small fortune, to counterfeit watches so poorly made that you will want to take a shower and lay down for a while, we see them all. In this episode, we examine a unique vintage timepiece, the Rolex GMT Master 1675. This reference is a stunning example and a favorite among a number of watch collectors. When it comes to watch aficionados who love aviation, nothing hits the spot quite like a vintage GMT Pepsi. Considering the age, this piece is truly remarkable. In our first episode, we unboxed this stunning example of the Rolex GMT Master 1675 from Long Island, NY. But first, a quick history on this watch. The GMT Master debuted in 1955 with ref. 6542. This model was the first timepiece in the Rolex catalog to offer a rotatable 24-hour bezel as well as a dedicated 24-hour hand on the dial. Both of these features allow the wearer to sync with local time while keeping home time present, making the GMT Master a must-have for pilots and avid travelers
