Nice one Norm. The insert is a great additional to that gilt..y!

My 1675 Rootbeer!

That's a beauty Ken. Damn, there have been some very nice GMT's posted in this thread. Some very, very nice vintage for sure.

Beaumont have to agree with Ken! BAMM x2 sweet fat insert sir!

I like my GMTII 16710/3186 and GMTc equally.

I like GMT watches a lot and own B&M, Panerai, Rolex, and Omega GMT models.

skprd13 · 15 July 2013, 02:38 PM

Beautiful Lady John! Man this is an awesome thread of beautiful GMT watches! Congrats guys!

A kind of golden text that really pops in the sunlight.

I struggle a bit to capture the gilt thing in pics of the 1675. Is a bit more obvious when it's parked next to a non-gilt 1675

Thank you. Much easier to se it when you can compere them on same pic. Last night(for me) I didn't see the gold tone.

I have to say 16760/Fat Lady.

Subs looks (IMHO) best with plexi and matte dial, but GMT looks best with sapphire and white gold indices.

Crazy how much variety there is here of looks and patinas, even among the same model of watch! Put me down for root beer...
