I scanned the receipt about seven years ago because the ink was fading so badly, except for my scribble done at the time to show $US at the exchange rate of that date. That was the best price I found vs. $270 in ConUS and $180 at the Army Exchange in Vietnam.

Lots of memories, as I rarely removed the watch for the first 40 years, with the watch and me surviving three motorcycle accidents and one airplane crash together. We're two old survivors. My watchmaker recommended "put it in your safe, don't service it, and don't wear it," but I do wear it occasionally, delegating DW duties to my two Tudor Big Blocks and a Tudor Sub.


Fantastic watch and story. Thanks for sharing.

I love GMTs, ant to me the 1675 and 16750 are the hottest beside the Fat Lady.
Here two of my 1675s...



The left one has temporary an American Riveted Elastic Bracelet as his actual one is out for service.

One more GMT 16750 to finish out the year. This one gets the most wrist time for me.

Cool. Not sure if it's the angle of the light, but it almost looks like the lume on the hands have turned a golden color. Never seen that before. Very bright gold lettering. I've found that 16753 lettering on the dial tends to fade, but yours is very bright.
