Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16760: The 1st GMT-Master II Model

The glossy dial on my 16760 is turning matte!  Gotta love those 80s Rolex gloss dials with their funky defects: You have the infamous "spider-web" dials and now these "gloss-to-matte" dials.  This is a 9-million serial number case that appears to be totally unpolished.  The case and lugs are nice and thick.

Some call this model the "Fat Lady", but I really hate that name.  I think it's really stupid.  I'd rather nick-name it the "GMT-Dweller" since its middle case is about the same thickness as its contemporary, the Sea-Dweller ref. 16660.
