Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!

Today's watch is a vintage GMT-Master Root Beer!!

ROLEX GMT-Master Root Beer All Tritium
Ref.16753 Serial.62xxxx (manufactured around 1980)
Cal.3075 FF450/62523H Clasp Code C11
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

 

The 3rd generation GMT-Master two-tone model "Ref.16753"

This is a super cool model produced from around 1980 to 1988.

This model (brown gold x brown) is called Root Beer overseas.
Despite the name "beer," it's not actually beer; it's a popular non-alcoholic spiced carbonated drink in America,
and the can's color scheme is said to be similar.

Full gold and two-tone models
were fitted with dials featuring nipple indexes until the mid-1980s.

While there are brown and black dial colors,
this time we have a brown nipple dial in stock.

By the way, while the crown mark on the Ref.1675/3 Root Beer is an applied 18K gold mark,
the crown mark on the Ref.16753 Root Beer is printed.

The dial of Ref.1675/3 is a matte dial (excluding the final dial),
while the Ref.16753 has a glossy sunray dial.

The Ref.16753 has a rich variety of dials,
and it's interesting how the shade of brown differs depending on the dial.

This particular piece features a dial with an attractive maroon color.

What do you think?! This exquisite color!!

The maroon-colored dial and the aged nipple indexes
create a perfectly matched, atmospheric piece.

Upon close inspection with a loupe, the dial shows some deterioration due to age, but
the overall aging is beautiful, so the atmosphere is definitely not diminished.

The retro crown mark with its distinctive thick coating is also tasteful.

The luminous material is all tritium.

The tritium luminous material has an even burn,
and the hands are also beautifully aged and look cool!

The condition shows signs of use, but
the case and bracelet are in good condition!

In particular, behold the condition of the middle case!!
The lugs are thick and sharply defined, giving it a strong presence!

This sharply defined middle case is so cool!

The sleek case sides also have a rugged charm!

The buckle clasp code is "C11"

The Jubilee bracelet has some stretch, but
considering its age, it's in rather good condition!

The color of the bezel insert is also excellent!
You definitely have to see it in person!

Wrist shot!!
The more you look at this dial, the more lovely its color seems to be!!
Please enjoy the exquisite maroon nipple dial!

Vintage GMT-Master "Ref.16753 / Root Beer '80"
A masterpiece with a sharp case and an appealing brown dial that is irresistible!
When you encounter such a good piece with an outstanding atmosphere, it's your chance!
The nipple Root Beer seems to be gaining more attention recently, so
for those who are looking for one, please consider it.
