Please forgive me the shameless bragging, but here is my first screen accurate Rolex 16750 GMT Master.
It is a 7.2 million serial, so it has been produced in 1982.

Same model and version like we see on MPI.

P.S. When seeing the pic again I realize, that the bezel insert is fake. Will buy a genuine one in the next days.

All polished up and looking like new! It's a thing of beauty Bond, you really know your watches. Any chance you can post a side profile shot? I want to see the thickness of the case and protrusion of the crystal.

I don't really wear gold, but I can appreciate the Miami Vice connection.

ditto, Styles, I doubt, that I'll ever wear it.

Additionally I am very concerned not to damage the brand new condition of the watch. Can hardly imagine how many are out like that in those days.

O.K. Guys. First awesome watches. With 3 kids under the age of 5 putting 6 grand on my wrist isn't an option. I have 2 questions.
1. Did Magnum wear a GMT Masters or a Masters II?
2. Is there a preferred replica site for these? I see them from 68 dollars to 400.
Thank you
