Thread: Rolex 16750 project watch update

  1. #1

    Rolex 16750 project watch update

    Ok so having been away I couldn't give any updates on this but we are back and the watch is completed and I will be picking it up hopefully later this week. I am really pleased with how it has turned out bearing in mind it was a complete unknown quantity and a complete mess.

    This is how it looked after going into Graham at Superlative Time in London.











    Parts that can be saved!







    Building up the movement etc.













    Finished article!







    To say that I am pleased is an under statement and a massive thanks to Graham at Superlative Time.

    What's the story with this watch? Did you buy it recently as a project or have you had it long term??

    Excellent work, sir!

    I like the mocha lume plots. I also love the look of the GMTs with the all black bezel. Wear it in good health.

    Impressive, always good to see things (houses/cars etc) brought back into use.
