1984 Rolex GMT-Master II 16760 - Coke “Fat Lady”
This is where the GMT-Master II actually begins
The 16760 is not just an early GMT-Master II. It is the watch that created the category. Thicker case, independent hour hand, and a presence that immediately set it apart from the earlier GMT references. The nickname came later, but the design intent was clear from day one.
In stainless steel with a black dial and Coke bezel, this is the configuration people associate with the reference. Tool watch first, everything else second.
Why this configuration matters
The 16760 was produced for a short window in the mid 1980s and never revisited in the same way. The thicker case is not cosmetic. It was necessary to house the new movement architecture, and it gives the watch a stance that later GMT-Master IIs softened.
The bracelet is another strong point. Tight, long, and accompanied by one extra factory link beyond a full set, which is increasingly difficult to find.
What you need to know before wearing it
Condition is strong. The bracelet is tight. The case is in great shape with no notable dings. The dial is clean. The hands show light patina consistent with age. The crystal is free of scratches. The clasp is in great condition. This example has an OEM service Coke insert, which is important to call out.
The watch is running exceptionally well at approximately plus one second per day with very strong amplitude and minimal beat error after passing by our test bench.
Why this watch still matters
The 16760 is the GMT for people who care about transition points in Rolex history. It is the purest expression of the original vision for the GMT-Master II, a model that is still sold to this day.
It works as a daily watch, a travel piece, or a cornerstone for a serious Rolex sports collection. Honest, correct, and increasingly hard to replace in this kind of condition.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
