  • 16750 dial matter

      I have a 16750 serial 8.9M selling in VRM. This is NOT a promotional ads..

      A
      VRF member wondered that the dial should NOT print "SWISS MADE".


      Another VRF seconded his idea and said the dial is a service dial and 16750
      should use tritium markings.


      I have replied the message and pointed out that final batch 16750 uses glossy
      white gold index as per the 16710.


      Here is the web information source:

      http://gmtmasterhistory.com/gmt-master_ref_16750.html


      Of course, web information should be read with critical mind for correctness.


      I appreciate the 2 VRF members' critical mindset.


      BUT, this is a matter of integrity. If I know the dial is a non-match one or
      a re-done dial, I would state it clearly.


      To my knowledge, I believe the dial is CORRECT.


      Wish to bring up the matter for discussion amongst VRF members for 3rd party
      discussion.


      **************************************************


      In addition, another point wish to be discussed.


      Since the 16750 has the quickset date function, the hour hand cannot be
      adjusted as per the 17610.


      Hence the two time zone function is achieved by turning the 24 hour bezel.



      All comments and discussion welcome!!



      MANY THANKS!
