GMT help

Currently have a 16710 which I love, but really wanting something with a matte dial and no white gold surrounds. Is there a reference that has matte dial but with sapphire crystal? Any known vintage dealers in the Tampa area? Appreciate any info

The GMT II was introduced with gloss, white-gold surrounds, and sapphire. You need to go to the earlier GMT Master to get what you want.

If you can live without the sapphire crystal, a 16750 might be of interest.

Mentawatches, who are rather excellent and one of the best vintage dealers out there, are based in North Miami and a have a pretty wonderful 16750 featured on their site at the moment....
