I know there are vintage references that are more rare, desirable and command a higher premium. For some reason or another this is the one that grabs my attention the most. It absolutely has to be a matte dial though

It's always good to encourage the young Rolex fans such as myself and Carol, by sending them unworn pieces

It's actually an unworn NOS 16750.

'80s matte was so great I had to bookend it with a GMT Master II, the lovely Sophia...

Sorry I missed this thread when it was fresh. My 16750 is a favorite. Like you, I always seem to find my back to it. Wore it yesterday, in fact.
