1985 Rolex GMT-Master 'Spider Dial' 16750
OVERALL: Excellent condition 16750 combines vintage and modern elements. It has an acrylic crystal and an open 6/9 date wheel but also with a glossy dial and white gold surrounds. Watch was serviced this month. This also has a 'spider dial' which is a nickname associated to glossy dials where the lacquer cracked giving it a spider-web effect. The effect is subtle and really only shows in certain lights/angles which also made it hard to photograph (but I did my best in the pictures below).
- BRACELET: Jubilee 62510H with 550 end links. Bracelet is in great condition with very little stretch. Bracelet has 23 links. Date code is J (1985).
- CASE: Super clean and thick case with minimal polishing. Serial and reference numbers are crisp/clear with no end link wear or pitting between the lugs.
- BEZEL: "Teeth" are sharp and not polished down. Insert is black with a tiny scratch just to the left of the triangle.
- DIAL: Hands and dial have a matching light cream patina; second hand is newer and glows. Flawless acrylic crystal. Open 6/9 date wheel. This is also a ‘no date’ dial. For a short period, the early white gold surround dials read ‘Oyster Perpetual’ and were soon after replaced with dials that read ‘Oyster Perpetual Date’.
