1979 Rolex GMT Master ref 16750

6.2 mill serial

The ref.16750 Rolex GMT contains 3 specific technical upgrades when compared to the 1675. First, the model ushered in the use of the new 3075 caliber, which runs at a higher beat of 28,800 bph (the 1575 before ran at 19,800). So, we have a gain in accuracy plus, by most accounts, a more robust and modern movement (although the 1575 is regarded as bulletproof). Additionally, and most significantly, the 16750 added a quick set date function. Finally, perhaps through upgraded gasket employment, the 16750 was rated to 100M of water resistance compared to 50M on the 1675.

This example has a fresh service and includes a two year time keeping warranty. The case was recently polished with thick even lugs.

Hands match the dial patina but not reactive to UV light.

New TrueDome D38 Crystal. (Looks killer with the cyclops delete)

Genuine Pepsi blue back insert (not a service insert)

Tight 62510H-50 Jubilee with 550 end links, minor marks on clasp otherwise mint. Clasp stamped CL12 (Fully linked)
