WHY THIS WATCH
Today's Rolex GMT-Master is one of the most popular models from the brand. With the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO on jubilee bracelet seeing a waiting list many years long, older models such as the 16570 have become very popular.
The 16750 was born at the beginning of the 1980s and was in production until 1988. Considered a transitional model, the early matte dial versions of this reference are highly desirable.
So what is the difference between the 1675 and the 16750? The 16750 gets a new movement the reference 3075 and an extra 50m of water resistance. Most importantly, the 16750 gets a quick-set date function. If you love the vintage look of matte dials, but hate having to turn the hands a few dozen times to get the right date, this is the reference for you.
Oh and did I mention the bezel on this piece is a showstopper?
