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 ...

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?
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! Best, Dogu
