Question on 16753/16713 gmt rootbeer
Need info on the 16753 and 16713 rootbeer GMTs. Can anyone please tell me what was the last model with the nipple dial? Had 16713 ever been produced with one or was 16753 the last one that had it in GMTs? Am I delirious in hoping to find an original 16753 with papers or has something like that actually occurred in the known history? It is just that I absolutely fell in love with the nipple dial rootbeer on a Jubilee and I am trying to figure out what am I up against thanks in advance for any info!!!

Thank you! Hope that soon I will have a rootbeer of mine :) we might exchange watch stories over beers when I get back home. I am in Europe now.

Thanks! So, nipples in GMT = only 16753 and only acrylic. If I see anything other than that, e.g. nipples with sapphyre, this is a "put together" watch, right? I just need to be absolutely sure.
