Three of a Kind beats a full house!


Felt like christmas today as I got my 16750 back from the RSC and it absolutely looks brand new...........only better. They must've gotten the christmas spirit or something because they let me keep the original dial and hands on the watch even though they "recommended" replacement. They agreed that replacing the original would detract from its originality so ..... they did the right thing. My hat's off to them and as I said, they did a marvelous job..............almost a family reuinion. Thought I'd share some pix and I'll post a family shot once I get the red sub back from the RSC in San Francisco.

Beautiful! Great looking set of hands. These seem to be the Achilles heel of the 16750. You have a great match!!

Fantastic example!!

3 great generations.
Why didn't Rolex name the new ceramic GMT-III C instead?

Actually the work on the GMT was perfirmed by the RSC in NYC..........and who said New York is a heartless City
