My feelings after a day taking it in my wrist.
The aesthetics of this Gmt is really pretty.
Few watches I have or had so comfortable. You forget that it´s on your wrist.
Seems to lie that this watch is approximately 27-28 years old. It has a nice mix of modernity and antiquity that I like.
I must admit that Rolex knows how to do their job well. This watch is intemporal, and no note is too much time on it.
The plexi glass (live plexi!!!) gives a hint that I like. The dial has a beautiful gray tone (I don´t know if it was more dark or black or the dark tone that has been gathering over time). And the color of the bezel is precious, I suppose it will have lost part of its original brightness (but it´s better so).

My friend also has the same watch with circle indexesand black bezel. This bezel also I liked it, the watch goes more discreet, but maybe it takes away that touch that it really have.
The brazalet feel really well and it´s weigh absolutely nothing (maybe it is too lightweight).
But the most beautiful for me are the indexes, these painted indexes. Maybe I would have preferred a more "yellowish" or "vanilla" tone, but that tone it have are really really amazing. I have to say that I prefer this painted indexes to the the circle indexes.
Only one thing does not happen with any of my another watches: it is obvious that the world knows that it is a Rolex, is neither no good or bad, it's just so. That is because the brand is probably the most Universal brand in the earth.
I admit that if I have to have a Rolex watch in my collection would be this one or a submariner. Vintage always, of course.

Well, these are my feelings after a day with this great watch.
Best.

PD1: you can see that it sings me.... LOL.
PD2: someone could tell me the original "water resistant" of this watch??. I don´t know.

What are your feelings when you put it on your wrist??? A Rolex or 2, ( or 3,4, ...LOL ), it is important in a collection. But the only problem is that once you started, it is difficult to stop..LOL. A Sub, and a GMT, this is a good add in a collection, m...

Mira matador, entre el 16750 y el 1675 hay otro pormenor. El 16750 tiene câmbio rápido. El 1675 no! Salud amigo, Lobo.
A Pepsi GMT is a perfect way to start collecting Rolex
Emilio, This GMT would be the perfect way to start your Rolex collection. They are a true classic and I assure you that you won't be dissapointed. I started my Rolex collection in April of this year with a 1675, just 4 years older than your friend's 16750...
Great looking GMT!
In the market for that reference myself! My god that PAM is huge! Enjoy the GMT while you have it! ~Scott
