Rolex GMT MASTER 16750.
An old picture of an old love in an old place.
A lovely watch which came with its box and papers. And a reference I have to find, again, as a GMT MASTER fan I am...
Best,
Nicolas
Nice shot! Looks sharp and great condition.
A small pity it is not in your collection anymore but the next one you find will have its unique appeal 😁.
The Rolex GMT is such a super cool watch.
The Rolex 16750 you can say is at the cutoff of where Vintage Rolex starts to end but it is squarely in the Vintage Rolex space with painted index markers.
Below is mine that bridges the gap also with a tritium circled index markers but the vintage magic class comes with the plexi crystal which is also the mark of Vintage Rolex.
A+
Ouf... For a moment, I feared you posted the other one, you know... My future one. ;) [nt]

The future one is in the spa going from Fat Lady to Sophia Loren. LOL [nt]

Best,

Yes, we are closer to the 1675 then to the 16700/ 710/ 760. Thanks, Mahesh. [nt]

You seem to have caught and released more fish than most of us have even witnessed. Can you give us an estimate of how many watches have passed through your hands? :-) [nt]

Out of curiosity, since you often post pics of watches which you have owned, sold, and then state you would like to once again acquire:
Do you desire to recapture (some of) these previously held watches more than others (on your wish list) that you have never owned? If so, why do you think that is? I know that you have explained that you sold some of those watches to fund others, but now that time has passed, reflecting on this question is a good way to see how your tastes have evolved/changed and/or been reinforced over the years. Just for reference how many years have you been seriously collecting (ballpark) -- 10, 20, 30, more? Thanks as always, mon ami de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique 
20 years of collecting watches... There was a year I sold, in a few weeks almost all my Panerais ( out of 30, I kept only 3 which were stolen ).
For the rest, I sold, or traded, always in the goal to fund new projects, targets, well you know...
My tastes didn't evolve that much, but it takes a lot of time and or money to get some of these watches.
Best, mon Cher Marc.

Nice watch
My love for GMTs began with the Batman. Then I saw a vintage collector selling 16750, 16700 and 16710. I studied them closely but still have yet to learn a lot.
This has the matte dial and something I am also "hunting" for. Were you the first owner?
No, not the first owner. I understand your love for the GMT MASTER. I own 5 of them and I am willing to add 2 or 3 more... Maybe 4. ;) [nt]

One of my preferred references for GMT"s, at the frontier between past & future.
This one is mine from new :
Cherish it, Pier Angelo. I regret having let mine go. Welcome here, by the way! [nt]

"Crying in the Chapel" - I have searched, and I have searched... but I couldn't find peace of mind
That is what 16750 reminds me after looking for a good one so long about 5 years ago.
Nowadays, I can't even think of.
You definitely should though!
