After catching the Tornek, this one immediately landed on my hands, a beautiful vintage Rolex GMT 16753 Rootbeer complete with the 2-tone jubilee bracelet, What made this watch a standout is the nicely faded bezel insert and a killer nipple dial that has changed from the original brown to a burgundy red color. The only flaw I can see are the new hands so I will take it to my watchmaker to have the lumes of the hands matched with the dial lumes. I changed the bracelet with a nice tan leather strap for better accent.

Love it. I miss my GMT Coke. Wore it more than my 5513. Used it as a down payment on a 1807 that I've since off loaded.

Thanks for the compliment gentlemen. In fact, even friends and business associates who are not into vintage watches appreciate the beauty of the root beer.
