Icon20 Correct Booklet for Ref.16753 circa 1979-1980?
Guys, I just wanted to know which is the correct booklet for a GMT 16753 circa 1979-1980.

Would it be the one with the clouds or the cockpit one?

Thanks.

Cockpit I believe. Clouds are for the earlier 1675. You need to make sure the " Printed date" in the book is consistent (ie..before) the sales date of the watch. If that is unknown, the printed date could be within a year or so of the CSS production period. The closer or before the better in my opinion.

Someone more knowledgeable over on the VRF may know...Keep in mind however that with Rolex boxes and manuals/booklets there were never clearly delineated change over dates or even years...it was when the AD ran out of one and/or switched over to the newer stuff...

Next thing you are going to say is that you have the watches to match all the booklets...

The "cloud cover" GMT manual ended with the GMT 1675's which would be around 1980.
