1985 GMT 16750 just back from RSC (10 days ago). This 24 yr old beauty looks like brand new ( my photos are terrible - sorry ) and is keeping dead on accurate. I have to share....the last photo has my Sub No date as well...a family photo if you will.

dalip · 1 November 2009, 10:12 AM

lovely two watches...look great together..and that GMT is mint

GerardoG · 1 November 2009, 10:16 AM

WOW! Great job from RSC!

deserted · 1 November 2009, 10:18 AM

Great job with the refurbushing ...great work.

sleddog · 1 November 2009, 10:21 AM

Very nice!!!!

You would not guess its 24 years young....

sea-dweller · 1 November 2009, 10:27 AM

Very nice 16750 GMT and looks like RSC Dallas did a great job. I had a 16750 from 1984, which I sold (now regrettably).

Speed · 1 November 2009, 10:53 AM

Must be great to have it returned home!

JBat · 1 November 2009, 10:58 AM

It looks beautiful, Jack. Congrats on the service and the great watch.

tomee · 1 November 2009, 08:59 PM

nice.

did they give you an options to replace the bracelet? as i see it has stretched

padi56 · 1 November 2009, 09:11 PM

Great old timer and a fantastic job by Dallas but how such accuracy is possible without the parachrome hairspring.

mike · 1 November 2009, 09:16 PM

Dallas does great work.

Amazing pair you have. Nicely done.

buz-lh · 2 November 2009, 12:02 AM

Looks great, you must be extremely happy.

Yes the bracelet is no doubt a bit 'stretched', and they did ask if I wanted it replaced, but I'm not quite ready to buy a new bracelet that would cost more than I paid for the whole watch new in 1985. They did a nice job polishing and cleaning the original. Maybe I'll spring for a new one when I hand over the watch to my son someday. As it is now, still very functional.

Jack thats a stunner!!! What was done on your watch and how much did it cost??

My 2005 GMT-II is always -1 second per 24 hr., my new Sub Date, after it's re-regulation at Dallas is - 1/2 a sec. per 24 hr. Pretty awesome I think! Neither have the parachrome spring.

iSellJerseyShore · 2 November 2009, 04:12 AM

Looks super!

Ready for another lengthy term of service!

Exactly the parchrome will not make any difference whatsoever to the day to day running or accuracy in any Rolex watch.

moviefreak · 2 November 2009, 04:57 AM

Looks perfect... Dallas RSC is perfect...

Not bad at all for what they did, money well spent. Dallas is awesome! Nothing but fantastic service, and the people could not be nicer!
