How about some GMT 16750 passion today!!!

Break out those GMT 16750s and let's see some love for one of the all time great GMTs.

I'll start it off...and Sensui, Greekbum, Mike, Jinson, Andy (NYC), Steelerfan, Lee, both Franks and all you other GMT lovin' afficiandos, post 'em up.

Circa 1982............

Beautiful. After talking to aficionados like springer and greekbum...I've developed a unhealthy love for the 16750...so underrated with the quickset and vintage goodness....Here are mine from springer/JP and greekbum/Nick...absolute beauties.
