So I think i'm ready to take my first step into vintage watches and I think that there's no better place to start than with a 16750 GMT Pepsi with matte dial.

I've been a long time fan of the GMT and was tempted by a 16710 Pepsi but there's just something about the matte dial that I can't help but be drawn to.

There's one problem though! Where to get it? I've been looking at online forums but I don't see many good examples coming up. Do any of the UK members here know of any reputable gents who deal in vintage Rolex?

I've heard many of the US members mention that they get their Vintage pieces tracked down for them by reputable people, are there any such counterparts in the UK that people have used? Ideally i'd be looking at a complete set, a piece that you would be proud to own

There's just something about that dial!

There's one available at www.subgmt.com with papers! Looks very nice. Probably not the most affordable one you'll find but on the other hand it seems to be a complete set with punched papers and a really nice watch. I have not dealt with them but I have heard good things from others.

The 16750 is a great watch. I would definitely recommend you to go for it over a newer version.

I like the 16750 myself. I bought it new and have worn it almost every day since.

Steve Mulholland has them for sale quite frequently. You sould let him know what you are looking for and then be patient. Fortunately they are not rare so you can be choosy.

Hey I've heard great things about Steve, trouble is I'm in England so not sure how practical that is. Are there any Dyeve equivalents in the Uk?
