Condition: Watch shows typical signs of wear. Dial shows a faint hand-drag. The handset has been reset to eliminate any further drag. Minor scratches and nicks are visible on the case. Insert is excellent. Bracelet shows light scratches. Crystal shows some minor nicks on the edge. Case may have received a light polish in the past, or may simply be “sleeve polished.” Lugs are quite sharp and the brushed factory finish is strong. Reference and serial numbers are well defined. Watch runs strong and keeps good time. The original owner had his watch serviced periodically; it’s most recent service history is unknown.

Notes: The Ref. 16760 had a relatively low production run spanning the years 1983-1988. When the 16760 debuted in ‘83 it earned the “Fat Lady” and “Sophia Loren” nicknames due to its larger case and crown guards, and wider bezel. Besides being the first in the “GMT-Master II” line, the Ref. 16760 was also equipped with the first black and red Coke insert, and the first GMT to have an independent center hour hand. I was fortunate to source this beautiful fresh-to-market Ref. 16760 from the original owner who resides in the Northeastern U.S.
