Geneva, October 28th 2019
Ref. Rolex 1675 #5172609

Sir,

We refer to your letter dated past October 17th that deserved our utmost attention.

Answering your question concerning your watch insert's colour, we inform you that to the best of our knowledge, ROLEX has never produced GMT's ref. 1675 with an all blue insert.

Meanwhile, the picture you've transmitted us does not allow to clearly distinguish between what you call to be a blue insert and a black insert, whose colour might have faded with time.

Remaining at your service for all complementary information, we ask you to receive, Sir, our best regards.

Well that was the consensus on TRF for a few years, now it’s official...

Unless they don’t disclose info about parts that were produced for militaries !

Now to see if this will deter the interest of collectors...

"As the all-blue bezel insert was not something that Rolex formally offered to the public, production numbers were very small, and official records and information about these all-blue inserts is virtually non-existent. While it may initially appear to be a reference 1675 with an aftermarket bezel insert, the “Blueberry” GMT-Master was actually a watch that Rolex manufactured"

Might still be real, idk i'm not getting involved.

what say Mondani's books about them?
Rolex has no memory, no own museum or real archive... (unlike patek). They just don't give a shit about their own history, they are focussing on building uber shiny watches for chinese ignorant dudes (no offence)

I don't think that this letter proves anything about the blueberry. Rolex already stated they never produced it.

The subtleties of language.

"Answering your question concerning your watch insert's colour, we inform you that to the best of our knowledge, ROLEX has never produced GMT's ref. 1675 with an all blue insert".

They are saying they have no record of making it - which is not the same thing as saying they never made it.
