FS: 1968 ROLEX GMT MASTER 1675 - MK 1 - FULL SET - MILITARY PRO

Presented for sale, this example is an early matte dial Rolex GMT-Master 1675 with US Army provenance. The watch is complete with punch papers, inner and outer boxes, and “Your Rolex Oyster” booklet.
I recently purchased this watch from a jeweler who purchased it directly from the original owner in 2000. It has sat in storage since then and now is presented for sale.
As told by the prior owner: “The owner of the watch was one of my first customers when I opened a retail location in 1993. The owner told me they were a Sergeant in Vietnam and it was purchased at a PX somewhere in Asia. They had us service the watch in the mid 1990s. They knew I wanted the watch and told me that when they were ready, I would get it. In approximately 2000, the owner called me to tell me that they were preparing their estate. The watch was hidden in an old-school striped gym sock in a sock drawer. They gathered the original box, cert, etc. from the other room which I didn’t know they had. Since then, the watch has been in storage.”
The Details:
Dial is excellent MK 1 "Long E" with light eggshell patina. Dial is free from chips or staining.
Hands are original and are a shade darker than dial patina.
Crisp Pepsi insert. Mint condition, blue back.
