16750? I don't think so.

Found this Gem on ebay today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1982-Rol...1%7C240%3A1318

First off- the watch pictured isn't a 16750. Second, it's a fake!

Introduced in 1980 to replace the ref. 1675, the new GMT was virtually identical to its illustrious predecessor, with its familiar choice of blue/red “Pepsi” or black bezel inserts, matte dial & acrylic crystal (although somehow the watch was now depth rated to 100 meters of water resistance, up from 50m on the 1675). But beneath the hood, the 16750 sported a new cal. 3075 movement with a 28.8k bph rate (as compared to 19.8k for the previous cal. 1575) & the convenient quickset date feature. This fine timepiece features an original matte dial with matching original hands and both have a very nice patina to them. The bracelet is also original and it's marked 78360 with 580 end pieces. This watch has just been serviced and it's in excellent condition and runs perfectly! GUARANTEED TO BE ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC!

The bezel at least is fake. Can't see enough of the watch itself to tell more.

...also FAKE band...

...the band pictured does not even match the listing.

...endpieces do NOT fit properly.

...thumbnail recess is INCORRECT.

...crown on the buckle is INCORRECT.

...LADY CASPER does not care for these posers!

...Wolex of wongtyme did the service!
