The 16710 has a bezel that can be switched for the coke bezel, black, etc.
Not sure about the 16750.
The 1675 is an older model and I would think it would be cheaper than the 16750 but I have no experience with either model.

If you are not love vintage seriously or do not wear it all time ,I suggest you for 16710,16750 because 1675 is waste time for adjust date.

The 16710 would be a great choice. But, they are all great watches--only difference is price.

Welcome to TRF, Mike!

If you have not read this history piece, I recommend it before choosing a GMT model to pursue.

http://www.gmtmasterhistory.com

There are individual links to click for each reference number you asked about.

If you're interested in the best bang for the buck and not trying to source an original vintage model, I'd go for the 16710...

16710 is a great watch, very rugged. Great daily wearer.

The 1675/16750's have acrylic crystals and feel lighter than a 16710.
