I got thinking about my old GMT-Master 16750 this evening.... it sure was a nice watch. Thought I'd share a few pics in rememberance.

The first picture I ever took of her... just after opening up the FEDEX package.

She loved playing out in the yard on sunny days.

She even went for an occasional swim.

Very patriotic she was

She's a GMT, so of course she's likes to travel!

And she had quite a wardrobe!

Thanks for looking!

Very nice! What happened to your watch? Why don't you have it now?

Did you have 2 GMT's or just an extra pepsi bezel?

colemanitis · 19 October 2007, 09:30 AM

I had a few different inserts.

colemanitis · 19 October 2007, 09:32 AM

I owned it for 6 months then traded it for a 2001 Sea-Dweller.

Great pics to remember it by Jeff!

mailman · 19 October 2007, 11:26 AM

I think you should get her back Jeff

No jubilee bracelet for her???

Have a hook up for bezel inserts for a 16710 by chance?

SPACE-DWELLER · 19 October 2007, 10:45 PM

She is a BEAUTY, Jeff!

BTW.: Tom Selleck, AKA "Magnum P.I." wore a GMT 16750 in the series (Pepsi bezel).

Jeff,
Great pics and I bet you were kinda sad to see it go.
Thanks for sharing.

I agree, the GMT needs a SS Jubilee.

So its really easy to change the bezel right?
I could theoretically get a black bezel for my LV and switch whenever I want.
Any pros cons for this? Will an AD sell the extra Bezels?

Thanks Fresh

Agreed.

Really makes the GMT stand out in the Rolex line.

You should be able to purchase the bezel inserts with ease in Germany. My wife purchased a pepsi for me while traveling thru Munich last April.

Good luck,

Thanks Dan. Is it harmfull to switch inserts frequently?

dwm1 · 20 October 2007, 12:22 AM

Where can I get a black one?

Only if you try to do it fast without using protection.

There's a tutorial around here somewhere. My first attempt went perfect. On the second attempt I scratched a lug.

It was easily fixed by my watchmaker. I'll try to find the bezel changing thread for you. Should be able to do this yourself and doing it often will not hurt the bezel.
