Icon17 FS: Rolex GMT 16750 - matte dial - box & papers

Up for sale is my Rolex GMT 16750 with box & papers including accessories

For those of you who know me will know I only buy the best and this is a great piece for your collection box or wrist.

It was sold to me as all original and unpolished.

Rolex UK has confirmed it is unmolested and born with a matte dial, however, can't say whether it is unpolished or not, only that it retains what looks like the original bevel (softened over the years)

Vintage is a subjective affair so have a look at the below pictures. Nothing has been Photoshopped or otherwise tampered with. Shot in natural light.

Serial: 7.2m (1981)
Movement: not to COSC but runs smoothly. Date changes bang on 12 and it winds with no issues
Case: excellent condition with thick lugs. There are small surface scratches and dings but Rolex UK says it can be brought back to factory finish and still retain flat lug-holes and meat on top
Dial: mint/flawless. Very nice even patina. Hands have light corrosion. No dial cracks, discolouration or other grim things. As good as it gets.
Bezel: original (soft teeth)
Insert: near mint. No fading and strong red/blue
Crystal: good condition. It has a few marks and would benefit from a light polish but it doesn't detract from the overall nice condition of the watch
Bracelet: brand new 78360/580 fitted by Rolex UK in March 2012. Some surface scratches on the 6 o'clock side. Comes with links shown in pictures. Clasp has plastics still attached.
Service history: none

It comes with:
Original Rolex guarantee papers (dated December, 1983, USA)
GMT Instructions booklet
Your Rolex Oyster booklet
Rolex inner green box

PRICE: £4,700

RMSD and insurance for full amount within the UK is included. For other locations please enquire for shipping and insurance cost

Payment by bank wire, cash or PayPal (buyer covers all fees).

Watch is located in NW London/Canary Wharf and I will welcome a face to face transaction at a mutually convenient place.

Many well known references are available.

Please email me with any questions and for many more pictures on puffy.watches@gmail.com.

Returns within three days. Watch must not have been worn. Buyer pays for return shipping. Refund minus shipping and insurance.

Thanks guys.
