Modified GMT II To Buy or Not To Buy....
Today I was at an AD killing one hour whilst in Timonium, Maryland, and saw a TT Black Face GMT, used, which they told me was 1970's vintage. Hmm.
![]() ![]() All input welcomed. This is a very large AD, so I'm quite certain they're not trying to cheat me or misrepresent in any way........ ![]() |

The AD does not know the year the watch was produced. Go by the serial.
![]() Changing the crystal to plastic and adding an original bracelet isn't going to break the bank so it may be worth it. Pics, I am assuming, are not allowed. ![]() |

The AD probably doesn't know what he's talking about..
8 mil serial would put this watch in the early 80's.. During that time, the TT and Gold GMT's were fitted with Sapphire crystals and the Sub bracelet was an option, although unusual........ this could be a jewel............ ......... of course, it could also be all messed up too.....

put it on the internet? Salesperson: sure, why not? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() i do think on consideration that watch might just be a buy....i mean it has the new bezel, sapphire crystal, submariner oyster band....looks like the new type clasp...pretty sharp watch. but the bozos at the AD don't seem to have enough expertise to have their info straight...you would think their buyer would know more....... |

I think you need some more info, if it was a sapphire crystal it may be a 16713, if it's a nipple dial, it should be an acrylic crystal and could be a 16753. Was it a quickset date?
