Bronze Nipple Dial Ref. 16753 GMT-Master II

I love the two-tone Bronze GMTs.  Clint Eastwood wore this exact reference (16753) in this configuration (Jubilee bracelet and bi-color bezel) in the movie Firefox!

This is one of the "transitional" references, 1675x, the only GMT-Master IIs with the quick-set date.  Later, in the reference 1671x the date became semi-quick-set with the advent of the jumping hour hand.

Bronze Nipple Dial, Jubilee bracelet, yellow gold and stainless steel.  It doesn't get any better.
