1986 Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16753 “Root Beer, Box & Papers”

Up for grabs is a Rolex GMT-Master

Reference 16753 with acrylic crystal

9.1 mil serial number circa 1986 production

Excellent vintage condition case has previously been polished, but retains thick and even lugs and crown guards. Very clean numbers without corrosion or damage.

Dial is most likely from the 90’s. Still designated with “SWISS T” but still glows briefly along with the hands. I assume it was put on during a service during that time.

The watch comes with its original Boxes, manual, and warranty papers. As you can see, the watch was not purchased new until 1989 from a US AD. On the papers, the numbers indicate that this watch was initially delivered on a Jubilee bracelet, however, it is not on a 93153 Oyster with flip lock. This bracelet has N date code, which is 1989. My assumption is that at the time of purchase, the original owner asked for the bracelet to be swapped by the AD. THis is a very common process during this time period. THe watch also retains its original price tag sticker.
