I know there’s a lotta love for the Pepsi models, but I prefer these monochromatic versions where the patinated markers are the star of the show! Gorgeous example!

Do you happen to have any pics of the watch before the service? How well were the hands matching before? RSC's tend to swap out parts that are "no longer working" (in their opinion) but it really tends to destroy the originality / vintage-ness.

Also that bezel looks like a fat font one, would love to see the original one too. Does anyone know if that is what an RSC would use as a service bezel by default (FF that is)?

Early ‘84 checking in...how I love this watch...and the other 2 variants (/3 and /8) that I own. I bought the 16750 last - all 3 within a 6 month span - and it was the most expensive. Lol

Cheers!

Another one of my 16750s - I call this one the "daily" which is the one I wear most often and owned the longest (20 plus years).
