Now, Emilio, the question is:

Will you give it back to your friend? LOLOLOL
Well, there were 2 versions of this transitionnal reference..The Painted indexes, ( " yours " ), and the circled indexes, both with T< 25 Dial...
THe only difference with a painted 16750 indexes and a 1675 is the order of the hands..
On the 1675, the 24 Hand comes first, while it is not the case on a 1675...I learnt that a few months ago, so I'm not that an Expert..LOLOL
THe production of the Ref 16750 lasted some few years, maybe 6 or 7, before Rolex introduced the Ref 16700, and 16710...
SEriously, I love the 16750...And loved it so much that I bought it, and kept it with a great pleasure...
Emilio, if you have to get a Rolex Watch, this must be this one with its painted indexes, my friend, even if circled indexes are on the way to become classics, as the tendance is to Maxi dials...
Best, my friend, and as we say in the Country if the Horchata and Chocolate con Churros...APROVECHA!

A Transitional 16750 at home....

I must admit that I have never had a Rolex in my collection. I guess the reasons that have been several (or none, I do not know). Due to this Rolex Transitional GMT 16750 going to be home a few days, I've made some pics (bad pics, by the way). It belongs ...

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...
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 admi...
Hum...

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
