Which One The Best GMTs?

[PhilM]

Well I thought I was set on aiming for a sub, but after seeing your post Mike I'm now totally confused

Mike thanks for the info. Am I right to say this was the only GMT Master that had a sapphire crystal & is the bezel supposed to "click" when turned. Mine doesn't & I had a watch guy tell me yesterday that it wasn't supposed to.

For me it is the 16750,light and classy

Err buddy Bangkok Dave...a fellow Rolex watch collector in Bangkok...has been looking for a 6542 GMT for as long as Orchi could recall...perhaps you wanna sell yours...unpolished preferably.

Here's one which is 100% unpolished...

Indeed the 16700 is the only MASTER with sapphire. I believe it also retains the friction fit bezel.

Had a 1675 pepsi, now have a 116710. I love the 1675 because it was a classic and appreciated by watch collectors, and I could wear it with out thinking of scratching the polished center links!!!! I love my 116710, but I don't like the polished center links.

Thanks, orchi. I'm leaving in a few days for Manila. If I had known about the collector in Bangkok I could have routed through there. I promised another buyer first chance. If he isn't interested, I will contact you about the one in Bangkok.
By the way there is a bezel set like the one you hunted for so long up for auction on ebay now. NOS, photos look good.

Err buddy Bangkok Dave...1st up...you have a safe journey always.

2ndly...yes sure if your potential buyer in Manila isn't biting...please drop Orchi a PM...

n about the eBay auction...Orchi has been watching it for quite some time since...looks like it won't be a bargain with 1 full day to go...

Anyway as we never know...in eBay anything is possible...including NOT getting what the bidder expected the item to be...

No,No, I'm not going to see a buyer in Manila. Just a vacation. The buyer I promised first chance is in London. A fellow forum member. I'll let you know.
