GMT advice needed
I'm looking at a 16760 with serial of 8.4 million, 78360 bracelet, coke bezel. The bezel is unidirectional(?). The dial has a nice patina and reads Swiss T25. The Ad will give the watch a full in-house service and warrant it for 1 year.
1. Are these the correct bezel and bracelet? 2. What should I pay for it?

It is the correct braclet and bezel insert - they only came with the red/black bezel insert but that doesn't mean somebody didn't change the insert later in time. It is a correct vintage serial number, late 84/85 vintage, which makes this a very early 16760. Also, the dial/hands will probably be yellowed or show patina as you indicate due to its age. Price - $4000 - $4500 without box and papers, less money is better, more money is negotiable. About $5500 and up with box and papers. Good luck, John

Err buddy Mike...yes the bezel must be able to turn both ways...plus
when it turns it must have the feel of 'clicking'...which made the watch uniquely interesting at the time. 120 clicks each way on full turn...unlike the Submariners which has the bezel turning anti-clockwise only with 60 clicks on full turn... Like what Buddy Springer says...your mentions of the 16760 GMT II...dubbed as the Fatlady would seem to be correct... The 16760 is the 1st generation of GMT Master II...n what would be more interesting to see...is whether that one has NO "Date" plot...on its Dial. A 16760 Fatlady with NO "Date" plot on its Dial is a bit more favoured by collectors...as compared with the ones which has the "Date" plot on its Dial... Nevertheless...you need to be careful of a watch to see if it might have fake bezel insert...or other unwanted issues. Please post some pics of the watch here...if you can. |
