Hi, which one the best GMT for you? 1675, 16710 or 116710? Which one do you like most? Can you explain here please why you choose that?
I like 1675 most, because this model is look so vintage and BEAUTIFUL!!! But I like the two others of course. But if I must choose one between three, I choose 1675 in Pepsi of course. What your choose? Please your reply here. Thanks Guys!!!

Best Regards, TR.

All are nice, but I got a killer deal on a 16750, and it is my favorite watch... maybe b/c its my only vintage, but its my favorite!

applebook · 15 March 2008, 02:48 PM

Unlike many vintage lovers, I prefer glossy dials. I also prefer higher beat movements, so the 16750 with the glossy dial is my favorite.

I like the flatter bezel and domed crystal of the 1675/16750 over the modern GMTs, although I'd love to get another 16710. Pepsi or black is fine, but I don't like the Coke at all.

sea-dweller · 15 March 2008, 03:28 PM

The 1675 or 16750, they are classic, lighter in weight than the newer 16710's. I love the maxi-dial 1675's, they are hard to come by now and should increase steadily in the value in the years to come.

jasonbellevue · 15 March 2008, 04:10 PM

I like 'em all, although i'm a bit partial to the 16710.

Gee, I wonder why

Mike is the biggest GMT-phile I've ever seen. If I could concentrate a large collection on a single theme, I'd probably get every GMT-Master ever made, except the white Pan-Am because it's nearly impossible to find.

Trurolexer · 15 March 2008, 05:08 PM

DO IT!!! GMT is one of iconic Rolex sport model.

el-piloto · 15 March 2008, 07:59 PM

The white dial Pan-Am...!!!

No, I'm just kidding!!!

Though I'm extremely pleased with my new 116710, I'd go "vintage"
in an instant!!!
I'd love to add an 6542 to my collection, but... oh but... :-(

If you'd like the added "comfort" of being able to read 3 time zones, your
choices are a bit "easier"...

IMHO the GMT Master is one of the most iconic watches ever made and any
model you chose will make you (and your wrist) very happy!

Trurolexer · 15 March 2008, 08:47 PM

Just for the record, my Grandpa have 6542 before.But because the bezel is look so broke (the colour turn to other colour), he exchange the GMT with Seamaster gold!!! DAMN!!!

mike · 15 March 2008, 09:29 PM

SPACE-DWELLER · 15 March 2008, 10:15 PM

16750 is the coolest, IMHO. The only true quickset.

mike · 15 March 2008, 10:30 PM

Oh heck, get this one.

Dan Pierce · 15 March 2008, 10:32 PM

The best one is the one on your wrist.

ROLEX MAN · 15 March 2008, 10:34 PM

1675 because the first love is true love!

BLSampson · 15 March 2008, 10:46 PM

I was waiting for Mike to chime in then Dan took the words out of my mouth. Another way to say it is ...I never met a GMT I didn't like. I think my dream GMT would be the new one with the solid jubilee bracelet on it in TT. Thoughts?

Solid gold GMT on jubilee would be a stunner!

Bryan, I agree, I'd like an example of each.

I have a 6542 that I never wear. I'm thinking about selling but i don't know wheather to have it polished or not. It's a IV 1958 vintage. The dial is faded to a dark brown (from black) and the tritum has long since degraded so it has no luminesence. Give me your opinion on wheather to have it polished and the dial refineshed or not.

Do not touch the dial or have it refinished right now. I wouldn't even have it polished if possible. It should be worth much more if you ever plan to sell it.

Thanks, I really don't know anything about what makes a watch more or less valuable. I suspected that what you recommend was the way to go but wanted to get the opinion of someone with experience. I do plan to sell, that's why I joined this forum, to get an idea of the best way to go.

Seriously, my coke 16710 probably shades it as its getting harder to replace

PS

Great pic Mike

Bobareno · 21 March 2008, 08:04 AM

I like the 16750 best!

Road Warrior · 21 March 2008, 08:13 AM

Hey what about the 16700? Even though is was the last true GMT produced, how different is it from the older GMT's. It has quickset like some of the other older models.

Indeed, the 16700 is an excellent reference that somehow gets overlooked a lot. Big difference is the sapphire crystal and the 3175 movement as opposed to the 3075 of the 16750 (though I don't think that's a very big deal at all).
