·Hi all,
It's a new year so I am pondering a change-up in my collection. I've noticed this watch has been sitting in the safe more and more so it might be time to try something different.
For your consideration is a Rolex 16750 purchased from the original owner. I'll let the pictures do the talking, but this is a proper collector's piece.
The set comes with original outer (with outer sticker) and inner box, document pouch, punched papers from Sweden dated 1981, calendar from 1981/1982, and translation materials. There is also a black insert included and extra link that I removed for sizing the bracelet.
The matte dial is flawless and has developed a nice patina. Hands have developed a similar patina. The case is very sharp and has likely not been polished. The original red back insert is in beautiful condition and the red portion has a rich cherry color. I have not had the movement serviced, as I wear it so infrequently. All functions work properly - quickset date is crisp and date changes right at midnight.
Serial number is 6.27 million. The original 62510H bracelet has E10 clasp code, dating to late 1980. 550 endlinks and 50 last link. There is minimal stretch in the bracelet, but lots of life left. Here are the photos - happy to provide more to serious trade partners!
For trades, I am interested in a nice Omega Railmaster example. I am starting to focus on anti-magnetic watches and have an IWC Ingenieur 866 that I wear most days. I suspect there are some members on the forum who may be hoarding a few
. Maybe this could bring one out.
Additional considerations would include other vintage sports watches, Rolex Milgauss, Omega Chronometres, and IWC Ingenieurs.
EDIT: For sale I am asking $19,000 which will include free worldwide Express shipping and insurance with ParcelPro.
Thanks for looking and OF for the space!
