Rolex GMT-Master 16750

By Paul Altieri

Rolex produced the GMT Master 16750 for about 7 years from 1981 to 1988. During that time, the watch became available with either a glossy or matte dial. The glossy variant had white gold-trimmed indices, while the matte edition did not. This example is the earlier and often times more sought after matte dial version. This reference is considered transitional because Rolex blended vintage and modern elements like the matte dial with plastic crystal coupled with the new quick-set movement. This gives you the 1675 vibe with the modern comfort of a quick-set date and that is another reason why these are starting to get more attention. 

This example has aged nicely over the years and has a great vintage look. The bezel has faded quite nicely with the blue becoming more of a sky blue and the red has almost a raspberry hue.

The watch was just as described, in fact, better than described online. The transaction was simple, secure, and seamless.

This was my first time working with Bob's and the process could not have been better from my perspective. The watch was a gift for my son who enjoys watches...this will be his 6th Rolex. I didn't participate in the conversations but he had several several questions which the staff fully answered. I entered when it was time to settle up. The customer service was great and the watch arrived very quickly. I'm not the the watch enthusiast in the family, but I see no reason why we wouldn't be looking for # 7 with Bob's as well.
