Hello everybody,
I'll try again to know your opinion about this 16750. As maybe some of you already know, I'm trying to buy a Rolex 16750. But I'm not an expert buyer. So I'd like to know your opinion about this one.
It's a matte dial from 1983/84 with a beautiful well pronounced patina.
I don't know if the price is right, but I think is its market price. Anyway, what I'm interested is if, according to the experts of this reference, it is a good piece. From the research I've done, it seems to me that it's all right, it seems to me in good condition. But, as I said, my eyes are not trained to understand the flaws that a vintage rolex can hide...
Thank you very much for your precious opinions.

Isn't it? It looks very nice to me too!

Looks really nice to me. I like dark patina like this dial has. Endlinks on bracelet are wrong for watch but easily correctable or a non-issue if such things don’t bother you. If price is reasonable this is sooooo much better than option you previously posted.

580 end links are correct for this reference. Otherwise I agree this is a great example, has a safe-queen vibe to it with that dark patina, solid case and sharp insert...

580 end links are correct.

I have bought several pieces from that seller (I can tell the from the photos) and have not been disappointed. The patina is strong, seems natural and if that's what you like I would go for it. The price seems in range of market.

NOPDK · 1 June 2018, 01:14 PM

I stand corrected on endlinks. Great piece

So do you know this seller? I hope he is the same. Anyway seems ok.
Thanks.

It looks great, almost unworn.
If you *have* to criticise sonething, I think the chamfers are too large, but that may very well be original.

It’s likely had a case refresh. Looks great.

Seems like Philippe’s photography. Yes he is the seller I have purchased from without any issues. I recommend him.

Very nice looking piece.

Thanks everybody for your opinions guys.

The watch is in great condition, mainly benefitted from a good refinishing I guess. The burnt orange patina has lots of character!

If you had bought it, please show us a wrist shot!

lee fowler · 3 June 2018, 03:01 AM

Some hard patina here!

Nice one on the bay right now that was just listed. Very similar to the ones posted here with B&P and price is fair. Dont know what your Seller was charging, but this seems to be a fair deal, especially for B&P.

I know I sound like an infomercial, but it isnt my watch I promise :)

That seller had a full set red sub at a fair price today also.

Regarding the 16750 on ebay, add a correct Jubilee bracelet for around $1350 and the missing accessories, and for me, a decent bezel insert and the total in the watch would go from $17,000 to at least $20,000.
