So I impulse bought a 16753 today..

I thought about posting it on here, asking for advice, reaching out to experts for any tips and things to look for. Then I said screw it and pulled the trigger.

Huge gamble and leap of faith on my part but it had pretty much everything I was looking for and price was reasonable.

Should receive it in a couple of weeks and I'll post pics and first impressions.

This is one of the two watches I've always liked and wanted to buy since I got into watches. The 2nd is a blue dial Milgauss.

The 16753 will be my new daily wear as long as it's up to the task. Vendor said it was serviced and runs fine no issues. I will do real world testing when I receive it.

It was just something about the situation; I just went for it. Normally I pine and research and ask billions of questions. This is maybe the one time in my life I've just gone out on a limb with such a big purchase.

I just have this weird hunch that now was the time to buy and that C.E. may pass away very shortly. It was like the universe said now or never.

I'd love to know more details about it when it arrives if the experts would chime in. I know there's so many dial variants that I'm keen to know what I bought.

Vendor says all original and not recently polished, all original parts, original bracelet. The lume looks very clean to me though so I think it was replaced at some point. The bezel has some fade to it.

Are genuine Rolex two tone Rootbeer bezels available these days or are they mostly all gobbled up by collectors at this point? I love the dark gold yellow of new bezels but wouldn't want aftermarket.

Hype hype and awayyyyyyy. Now I just gotta not try to think about it for a couple of weeks.
