Like the GMT Master Ref. 16750,
The early and late models are distinguished by whether the index has no border ("borderless") or a metal border ("bordered").
This one was manufactured around 1983,
Among the edged pieces, this is a relatively early specimen.
Furthermore, this particular watch has spider web-like cracks on the surface of the dial.
Depending on the angle of the light,
The dial is called the "Spider" dial because it looks like a spider's web.
This crunchy spider with a large crack
It's also incredibly cool!!
This is a typical change over time,
A spider dial like this on a Triple Six is quite rare!!
I'd love for you to come and see it for yourself!!
There is also tritium burn,
This is a piece that allows you to enjoy the unique atmosphere of a semi-vintage model.
Condition: After exterior finishing,
It has not been used much so it is in good condition overall!
No case thinning was observed,
The lug legs are also thick and sturdy!!
The bracelet is a period-matching hard bracelet with no grooves and clasp code "I".
The bracelet is a little wrinkled, but it is still relatively sturdy!!
*Frames will be full frames.
Wrist shot!!
