Lunchtime Arrival: Quick Picture Post 16753 TT

Stopped by home for some Subway and OH YEAH....a new GMT

This watch is Turbo Electrifying!!! Got a great deal on it from a fellow TRF member....it is actually and early 16753 and I have already sourced a Nipple Dial and NOS hands for it....however, I really like the dial that is on it too. This is my first Plastic with this dail....vs a 16710, the plastic and thicker insert makes it look like a Maxi-Dial. You just can't beat it as a daily and is without a doubt, the most affordable vintage sports Rolex out there....

I really want to add a 93153 oyster bracelet to it, but they are hard to source used with no stretch and cost as much as the watch new.....

Gorgeous. I don't usually like two tone but I would make an exception for your GMT. Enjoy.

Me, I reply to his wanted ad and sold it for same price I paid few weeks ago.

Its a great watch and great deal BUT it was too much bling for me and I wanted to find a new home for this baby.

enjoy the watch, when I bought the watch I was happy with the condition of the watch when it arrived.

as these watch are great value for money and that goes to DJ TT watches deals out their which I also own couple.

Is the bezel gold? I can't tell if thats a reflection off the bracelet. If the bezel is gold, I would definately keep the jubilee bracelet and NOT go with a 93150. Looks great as is, I really like it. Congrats.

My mistake. You did say 93153. I don't know what that looks like.
