Im looking at my Father in-laws 16700. Is the bezel suppose to turn in both directions? There is no click /ratcheting when turned in either direction. I thought the newer GMTs had a one way bezel.

It turns both ways. Only sub bezels turn one way

RC2 · 22 June 2015, 01:13 AM

Both

All GMT's turn in both directions. One direction only is a Diver watch requirement, not a dual time watch..

However, it should click. The 16700 introduced the 120 click bezel and sapphire crystal to the GMT Master line.

Double check because the previous 16750 did have the press to unlock friction bezel.

joe100 · 22 June 2015, 01:49 AM

Yeah, it's c a clicker. The 16753 I have is press and turn, no clicks. Smooth as butter.

MikenAZ · 22 June 2015, 02:14 AM

It turns both ways however no click. Sounds like it mayh need to be repaired. Any recommendations on a watchmaker in or near Arizona?

Take it to Robert Wesley in Old Town Scottsdale, they have a guy that comes by once a week and picks up watches that need slight repairs.

Are you certain on the model number?
GMT's are easily confused unless you recognise the dial etc.

Jonnyred72 · 22 June 2015, 05:16 AM

Could be a late 16750??? they look similar and would explain no clicks.

joe100 · 22 June 2015, 05:33 AM

How about a photo of this thing. A 16700 has a sapphire crystal

MikenAZ · 22 June 2015, 05:47 AM

Its a 16700 I was able to remove the jubilee band and identify it that way.

Matt748 · 22 June 2015, 06:05 AM

I would say a trip to a watch maker or RSC to overcome the issue.

MikenAZ · 23 June 2015, 11:27 AM

I paid Wesley Jewelers a visit this morning. Great Staff , Lyndell took care of me. My watch is with them for now. Their Rolex guy is on vacation for a week. After reading about Adolf on their site and speaking with Lyndell I'm confident my watch is in great hands.
