Rolex GMT Master 1675/3 Root Beer
nipple dial - original box - all matching
The nickname "Root Beer" derives from the distinctive color palette, whose rich brown and gold tones recall the iconic American soft drink. The applied hour markers with gold borders add depth to the dial and have earned it the collector’s term "Nipple Dial". Combined with the harmoniously matched bi-color 24-hour rotating bezel, the watch offers a particularly warm, cohesive overall appearance with strong visual identity.
The stainless steel and gold Oyster bracelet is correctly stamped for 1971. All reference and serial numbers are fully matching, underscoring the authenticity of this example. The watch is accompanied by an original Rolex box, further enhancing its collector appeal.
On the wrist, this GMT-Master impresses with excellent wearing comfort and well-balanced proportions. A versatile vintage Rolex with character, history, and everyday usability — in short, a wonderful vintage collector’s watch.
