Oops I Did It Again...Another GMT incoming From J.T. "Springer"
Just agreed to pick up my third GMT from "Springer" to finish out a trifecta of sorts. First came the 1675 (my Avatar photo), then came a great example of a 16750 and now comes the final piece (short of an 18k GMT with green dial) of the GMT portion of my increasingly focused collection. In addition to the three GMTs I have purchased from "Springer"; he also sold me a magnificent Submariner 5513 "Maxi" that also holds a special place in my collection.
Thanks again to one of the very best sellers (and sources of information) on this great Forum.
Wrist shot will follow upon arrival

Congrats on a lovely watch. It's a lovely addition to your collection.

Springer is a great member here and seems a great guy (I've never had the pleasure of meeting him)
If buying a vintage watch from him one thing you can be sure of is the quality of the piece.
I would be very comfortable buying a piece from him.

My new 16753 GMT arrived today. Immediately fitted it on a new custom leather strap and couldn't be happier with the result. Another "keeper" for sure...thanks again to "Springer" for a very high quality piece at a more than fair price
