Any GMT 16750 Fans ?
I bought mine new as a teenager. Ive worn it almost daily since. Every time I buy an interesting watch I let it rest for a few days but always go back to it. I guess its my favorite watch Anybody else like them?

Lve mine.o
the perfect combination of patina and practicality.





I would love a matt dial example but this one came along at the right time and price and I love the aged creamy markers. I've got a pepsi insert comming soon to give me a change of scenery too but I dont expect I'll ever tire of the simple black bezel.

Regards,

Zac

Nikos, it's not the watch itself I like so much, but the fact you've worn it all that time. To my mind, that makes it extra special. If you would tell the story how you came about getting it I'd be all ears.

Nice watches all. Love the GMT!

Springer, thats a heck of a collection.
