It's hard not to love a 1675 - out of all the vintage Rolex references, it arguably gave us the most diverse lineup thanks to the many variations of dial and inserts which age very differently over the years. 

This example dates to 1973 and features a MK4 dial. The Pepsi insert kept most of its vibrancy, showing wonderful contrast against the matte dial. With the all the hype around the modern "Pepsi GMT" - it is amazing that 1675s can still be had for much less.... Not something that we will ever comprehend but great news for vintage lovers.
