Frankly the 16750 seems much better; not a fan of the three time zone GMT IIs. Not fond of the date setting.

Listen to the mattedialdoc on this one: keep the 16750 and wear it like you stole it. I’ve worked my way from moderns to now I have all 4 digit models plus the 16750. Love it. It’s all the magic of the 1675 with a quickset date. I disagree that it is any less robust than a 16710. An acrylic crystal is more durable than a sapphire. Just buff out any scratches. And acrylic has a warmth that sapphire can never match. Do you really like staring at those greasy smudges on a sapphire crystal. Get that 16750 serviced and pressure tested and it’s as good as the day it was born!
