1963 Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 1675 Gilt PCG W/ RSC Papers, Box, & Military Provenance

This historically impressive 1963 Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 was originally owned by Colonel Bryce R. Kramer who was an Army Major and helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War and a founding member of the Vinh Long Outlaws. The “Outlaws” were the 62d Assault Helicopter Company that consisted of the top specialists from the 11th Air Assault Division from Fort Benning, Georgia. From 1964-1965 the Outlaws were one of the first seven US military units stationed in Vietnam before the first initial buildup of US troops and quickly became known for their effectiveness in supporting the boots on the ground in hostile territory. Since this watch was produced in 1963 it gives us pretty good reason to believe Col. Kramer served his tour in Vietnam with this watch on his wrist. This 1963 Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 is also accompanied with Rolex service paperwork and box from 1968 along with detailed information about Col. Kramer and the Outlaws and a photo of Col. Kramer himself.

I wouldn't have thought that crown guards have any relation to water resistance other than the prevention of mechanical damage i.e. knocking the crown, and thus compromising the seal of the crown....

[@georgehofgren6123]

What the crown screws onto is itself an insert threaded into the case. I believe the crown guards aren't so much for knocks as from general pressure upwards from the hand bones when worn on the Left wrist 😉 ~

I LOVE THIS WATCH!!! Ive been stalking it on you site for a while now. I’ve been searching for a 1963 1675 for about a year now. My dad was born in 63 and I would like to purchase one for his birthday sadly I don’t have the budget yet. This one is amazing because of its military history and condition

[@timmanion7459]

Absolutely like your subject matter. And the talk about the carbon paper. Haha !! I'm 70 going on 30 , but seeing the watch , packaging, carbon paper brings me back to a better day . I can smell the dark wood , leather and musk of fine cigar smoke . Keep up the good work . Thanx

9:01 looks more like an ink pot in the shape of a military combat boot, toes side to the right with shoelaces on top right !

Helpful info in this, thanks ~

Is a private purchase of a watch by a guy who happened to be in the military “military provenance”, I’m not sure. If he was issued it BY the military, that would be a different matter.

Birth year watch would you rather have a 1989 1016 or a 16710?

[@mrcosmograph]

Always an enjoyable learning experience - keep up the great work Cam
