I present to you a '68 square crown guard 1675 matte dial mk. IV with the ultra rare gen all red GMT hand.

Spec:
Case: TheSociety
Everything else: GEN

I've been researching high and low and went deep into the You can see the case is a perfect square 1675 case - most GMT reps are wrong and so far all GMT cases with square crown guard I've seen have had the same issue - too small crownguard, you can see the GEN below has thick large square crownguards.

Now mine for comparison. I luckily came across the rare all red GMT hand in a lot of hand sets that I bought. The hand itself has aged to a orange hue (sort of like how the 1655 explorer GMT hand turns color as well). A few months later I got a perfectly aged matte dial with just enough scratches and had turned slightly brownish for this build.

I present to you my 1675 square crown guard. More specific specs:

TheSociety 1675 square crown guard case
Rolex 1675 Mk. IV matte dial (correct for red GMT hand)
Rolex GMT hour / minute / seconds hand
Rolex all red GMT hand
Rolex crown
Rolex Caliber 1560 GMT (butterfly movement - super rare!)
Rolex 1675 insert which has aged naturally to a stunning salmon color

Yes that CG is way thicker and nothing like a Sub square crownguard, only you (and obviously some other Rolex gurus in rwi) have a keen eye to such fine details bro...
Makes me keen, very, very keen, should I be getting a Blueberry 1675 after my 6542 Pan Am Albino and the 1675 Gilt Gloss PCG ???

I'm now convinced that @TheSociety is like that 19 year old kid who hangs out with us, the 13 year olds. Yeah we're cool, we try to stay out of the eyes of the 'authorities', meanwhile he gets all the good drugs, and can source us liquor. We think he so cool and aspire to be just like him; but his actual peers in the meantime are here https://www.rolexforums.com ;)

Great build! Can you pls clarify why you called it square crown guard? Is not square compared to a 5512, yours has the same finish as normal later 1675 (non PCG)? Just curious am I not looking at your photos correctly.

This is an incredible build, I would kill for a case like that. I've been kicking around doing something like this for a long time, I have a gen MK II dial with matching insert that has perfect patina. Someday I hope it to be HALF as nice as this build! Congrats!
