My current daily choice is the 16750. Love the quickest date and plexi crystal combo that is unique to this reference. Also have the earliest gloss dial with just OP like the vintage matte dial versions.
Here's my "73" GMT. All original , I know the previous owner.
Note the lume has dropped out of the 24 hour hand. Unfortunately in one of its many services it was polished severely.
Still pretty imo.
I love the Pepsi 1675, that's my favorite. A modern version with a sapphire crystal (but same shape as the acrylic) and Chromalight in place of Tritium would be a fantastic modern rendition. Don't get me wrong, I love the current Ceramic ones too but I'm a sucker for matte dials.
I have a pair of 16750s. A matte Pepsi and a newer Black. They are both lovely watches. Interestingly the newer watch has yellower patina. Only downside is the black has a Superluminova sweep hand
The GMT-Master is my favourite model. I've owned a 1675 and a matte 16750 in the past. Had the itch for one until the wall of eye popping prices brought me down. Lucky for me, I found a more than respectable E serial 16710 here from a true gentleman. Glad to have been able to hold on to it. Been wearing it on a super comfortable leather NATO.
Rolex GMT master 1675 ... aka the first Rolex worn on the Moon as Apollo 14 LMP - Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell wore a pair underneath his fireproof underwear ... February 1971 👍

Do we know why type of 1675 it was? Gilt, MK1....?
