No. 1279 ~ A crunchy spider! Introducing a great example of the GMT Ma

Hello! This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza! Today we are introducing the semi-vintage GMT-Master "Ref. 16750" from the 1980s.

Rolex GMT Master I All Tritium Ref.16750 Serial.82 series (manufactured around 1983) Cal.3075 78360/FF580 Clasp Code H Accessories: Box SOLD OUT!!

The third model of the GMT Master, "Ref. 16750", manufactured from around 1980 to around 1988 The main changes from the previous GMT Master/Ref. 1675 are ○Caliber changed from 1570 to 3075 ○ Calendar quick change function ○Water resistance has been increased from 50m to 100m This makes it even more practical.

The model we are introducing this time is the later model with edges. The Ref. 16750, like the Submariner Ref. 16800, Ref. 5513, and Sea-Dweller Ref. 16660, The index has no border, and there is a metal border. It is divided into early and late periods.

This particular watch has a dial with a border and the inscription is: This is a later model dial with OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE notation. The previous period only had the OYSTER PERPETUAL notation and no DATE notation.

Furthermore, this particular watch has cracks all over the dial surface. Depending on the angle of the light, it looks like a spider web, which is fascinating. The dial is called "Spider" . Spider dials are mostly found in models from the 1980s. The most well-known are Ref. 5513 and Ref. 16550, but there are also Ref. 16750 and Ref. 16660.

This crunchy spider with a large crack It's also incredibly cool!! It also has a slight tritium burn, giving it a great look!

In the case of the Ref. 16750, the dial I personally would like to turn into a spider dial is one without a date marking. I thought it was just a dial, The spider with the date written on it was a new discovery for us.
