Opinion on this 16750 gmt please

Hi everyone,

Would love to hear you opinions on this 16750, serial number starts 672 which puts it at 1980 I believe. I think the insert might be a service replacement other than that it looks good to me with my limited knowledge.

Are the crown guards supposed to be that angular on the top? Almost flat?

I think you may want to post pics of the the clasp codes, endlinks, between lugs.

It is all original

the dial is absolutely not a service one, perfectly correct for this 16750

The clasp is stamped VE, endlinks are 580 but looks to be laser etched instead of stamped.

Thank you for all your help. I don’t think it’s a service dial, looks like a mk1 dial to me with the lined up AHC, slim, tall coronet.

The hands I’m really not sure on. I think the case has been reworked by LAWW.

The bracelet clasp is certainly correct, not sure if it’s a service replacement or if it’s been refinished. It’s stamped 78360 instead of laser etched so it isn’t that new if it is a replacement.

Thank you all once again for the help.

Correct, you have a Mark I dial which is not the first dial that was found in the 16750 - the Mark II was the first generation dial. I don't know who came up with the Mark numbers for the 16750 but they are not in the proper order.

Interesting, so does that mean it is a service dial?

Check out the reference library. There are a few threads there on GMT dials.

It's not a service dial. Is it correct - that is something you need to decide.
