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! smile

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 ...  

A+ Nicolas

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 ...  

& that my friend is a never ending line up... [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 ... 

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.

7 years in april already :)

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?

Very nice.
