Dear Friends:

I wanted to share my most recent purchase received today around 2:30pm. After a smooth and nice transaction this weekend with our friend JACEK, I am now the proud owner of a GMT Master Root Beer with nipple dial.

In my very humble opinion, I think the 16753 is one of the most unique Rolexes out there and only for those WIS with a very particular taste. This is one of those that you either love it or you hate it. FYI, I have been waiting to find the right one (condition, price, dial, etc.) for more than 5 years and it finally came true today.

After getting my wife's blessing on Friday (after promising her that I would get rid of one of the watches in my collection, the Tudor Chrono 79280) I was able to pull the trigger.

Here are some initial shots.

Enjoy!!
