Hey shdlock, where in Canada are you? RRs are fun in the snow. Complex vehicles nowadays. I would get a Pepsi 1675 if the finances permit. It's the ultimate gmt to me. I know the radium dials are most sought after, as are the chapter dials. I like a nice matte dial with no bling on my markers. Maybe this is why I became a Tudor junkie in 2010

I’m out in Alberta! We do get a lot of snow out here and I’d be lost without my rangy! I’ve had 43 Solihull vehicle’s now, but I think my current one is a keeper (mechanicals permitting!) Yeah, I really loved my 16753 but it just didn’t suit my personality really (I’m not the bling kind); a Pepsi or black bezel would be more me, I think. I did really love the way the gold markers caught the light, though — so I’m not sure if I want to go for a 16750. With the root beer I always knew I wanted the Cellini dial (my favourite colour is purple), so the choice was simple. It’s a bit harder with the 1675/16750. I wasn’t too fond of my 16710 black bezel — but I can’t say if it was the bezel proportions, the flat sapphire crystal, or the glossy dial. Acrylic really does warm up a dial.

Sheldon says 12.00mm on the 16710: https://www.minus4plus6.com/16760.php
I'm still thinking the 16700 should be exactly the same. |

Surely, there's someone out there now who owns a 16700 and a 16710, and a set of calipers, who can confirm the thickness of each watch. Now I'm super curious! |

I thought it might be worth mentioning that there is a couple really nice 16750’s in the FS section.

The search function in Tapatalk isn't always the best and sometimes offers years old posts and misses out recent ones!

Measured these just now for fun.
The order of the pictures came out 16760, 16710, 16700 The 16710 and 16700 are both early/mid nineties. |
