Thinking of a fat lady

Hi guys. I am thinking about purchasing this particular vintage. For those who own this model would you recommend it towards other year Gmt's ?

Never been much of a chubby chaser myself, but should not be hard to find. Good Luck

I had one and I loved the watch until I fell in love with plexi and matte dials. I didn't know what I knew now, but as my first rolex it was a magnificent watch. The fat lady has a heavier wrist presence than the 1675s almost as heavy and thick as a 1665. If you can find a 8.3 mil serial without the word "date" on the dial then it'll be that much more special down the road.

However, between the gloss dial and sapphire crystal, the Arizona sunlight would blind me every time while I drove. Once I got my first matte dial plexi, I knew I had to sell the fat lady.

She's a good watch if you're looking for a good watch.

The first GMT 2. I've always felt the 16760 was the other half of the 16700. Once the 16710 came along, it combined attributes of both.

I love the 16760, they're great.
