Rolex “16750 Spider” GMT-Master

Description

Up for grabs is a Rolex GMT-Master, Ref. 16750, circa 1985.  The reference 16750 was a transitional reference for Rolex, from the 1675, which introduced their new Caliber 3075 movement, and changed the date function to a quick-set.  Further, this example has a “gloss” dial, which was Rolex’s departure from their traditional “matte” dial.

This Rolex GMT-Master is in excellent vintage condition.  The case appears unpolished, still sharp (albeit worn from use), with original beveled edges visible. The dial is in great condition, with no chips, scratches, and has developed an even “spidering” to the lacquer.  The original tritium lume, present on both the dial and hands, aged to a nice yellow color. Finally, the watch retains its original “Pepsi” bezel insert is in good condition, with an attractive light fading set in to the red.

The watch comes equipped on an original Rolex Oyster Jubilee 62510H bracelet, with 550/50 endlinks/endpieces, and has minor stretch, overall very well-preserved for a Jubilee bracelet, fitting an approximate 7.3″ wrist.
