I bought this 16573 GMT on Monday of last week and wore it all week. I took it off my wrist on Friday morning on the way to work. Work for Friday and Saturday was something that beats the heck out of the watch you wear...so I put on a watch which could take the beating. This morning I took the watch out of the drawer and it was still running and 5 seconds fast...after 48 hour in the drawer. I was wondering if it needed to be serviced. I guess it can wait a while.

I will admit that I am not a huge Rolex guy. I like them. They are solid, well built and well executed but...well...not usually something I keep in the collection. This one might change my mind and stick around for a while. I am starting to like rootbeer. Not a fan of the Jubilee bracelet it came on but that can stay in the drawer and avoid the stretch.

I think a two-tone RootBeer is a must in the Rolex collection, changing the stainless steel look, especially from the 1675/16750s..
The jubilee is a must with these, very comfortable and also provide a change to the look. I particularly like your leather look...
Here is mine, alligator style..

Love the Alligator look. I was thinking about a peanut Alligator strap for it just this morning. I think I will be a copy cat and get one.

Glad to help, it helps bring the colors of my dial/insert out.
Now in your case (or dial for this matter), you have what appears to be a dial referred as OxBlood, do a little research.
If you get a burgundy type strap, it will bring the colors of your dial right out!

 

That is a gorgeous 1675/3!! I love the nipple dial and the applied crown. Very nice strap choice as well. Although I'm with you, I love the jubilee, especially the oval link USA style that you have.

 

Maybe it is Oxblood...It is definitely darker than yours but there isn't much red to its darker brown. I think the wrist shot makes it much darker. It might be a darker brown. I just looked online at a bunch of pictures of Oxblood dials and they seem much more red...Who knows. I have an Oxblood strap much like the light brown one on the watch now. I will check it out.

rootbeer and nipple dial, as someone whose constantly stalking rolexforums for sale section for a gmt master 2 16710LN, this adds to the consideration! nice watch!
