Great watch at an excellent price. Make the grab without hesitation!

You bought it as soon as you started working on the bracelet, but you must have realized that. Fortunately it sure is a nice watch.

joejoe1225 · 11 August 2013, 10:37 AM

That's a keeper.

Racerdj · 11 August 2013, 10:56 AM

Keep it!

Thanks Guys...... I appreciate all the feedback.

After a good night sleep I've decide to keep the watch.

I work on the premise that if I need the cash I can always sell it and if I lose a couple of dollars (which I doubt anyway) so be it.
I'd rather do that than hand the watch back and wish I hadn't of.
The prices in Australia are no different to anything else. Most things are considerably more expensive than in the USA. The basic wages is $16.50 vs. $9.00 so it's all relative. The likelihood of finding another watch in the same condition at that price is extremely slim so I'll pull the trigger.

Here are a few more pics I too a few minutes ago.
Glorious winters day here in Sydney.... Max of 23oC (74oF)... Not bad for the middle of winter eh!

Cheers,

Bob.

100% keep it if you can afford to. I just paid£3100 for the same watch but needing a service etc I also have a 16710ln incoming which I am figuring as my new daily wear . That said the 16750 as a keeper with a couple spare bezels and a jubilee maybe the way to go and i flip the later gmt2 lets see how I feel when it lands.
Keep it if you can is say

I like the idea of varying inserts and Jubilee bracelet.
It actually gives you 6 different combinations.

Here are a few more pics I just took whilst goofing around.......

Excellent Decision. Looks Good, Good Luck.

Excellent choice, you have a great looking watch. Here are my 1969 and 1971 GMT's- I sold the 1971 with the jubilee to a member here on TRF. As you have said previously, lots of color and bracelet options make this such a great watch to own...

Ditto.. I think you bought it and should keep it. Great pick up on a classic
