Thread: An incoming- Rolex GMT Master

  1. #1

    An incoming- Rolex GMT Master

    Always wanted one of these but it is so hard to choose due to so many variants.
    Finally settled on a 16750. One of the early transitional models.
    A no date gloss dial,very light spidering.
    Nice patina on markers and hands.
    Pepsi bezel with a spare black bezel.
    Spidering is very hard to capture in pictures.
    Quite pleased with this one

    Nice watch Raj. Is it compulsory to buy a watch everyday?

    Ha! This was a trade. Have recently sacrificed two Rolexes and an Omega GSOTM which I wasn't wearing much.

    Beautifully proportioned watch, from a time when size wasn't everything, just a teensy bit envious.

    Lovely. Is it ez to swap the bezels yourself? Or is it significantly harder than say a strap change? What's tools did you use?

    Nice, be a dream to own one.

    Wonder what happened to the bezel edge, looks like it's had a fair old scrape (at 3 and 5 in each pic)

    If you are going to eventually get one, better now than later. The prices have been and are still climbing up. But it's hard to find one that is in a reasonably good unmolested condition.

    That is true. GMT Masterhas suddenly become more sought after lately.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words.

    Congrats Rajen on a lovely addition to your fantastic collection.
    They certainly are getting harder to find.
    I recently managed to nab an unpolished Pepsi 16710 after a long search and only after enlisting the help of a well known contributor to this forum.

    My old man wears a 16750 most days, on a very nice faded blue/red insert.
    It's just a matter of time...
