What I treasure most are the memories associated with each piece and again, this Rolex GMT master 16753 with Dubai emblem has an interesting story behind it. I met the lady selling the watch at a Sainsbury's in Hertfordshire. She said that she was the sister in law of the Head Groom of Sheikh Maktoum who owned a nearby horse racing stable. The watches had been gifts to the staff and I suspect stainless steel versions had also been given out to lower ranking staff. The GMT came with an inner and outer box and also the original hang tag with serial number. I had it serviced by Rolex London who confirmed that it had been originally delivered to an AD in Dubai in 1978. The eagle emblem is of impeccable print quality and the dial is completely mint with matching gilt tritium hands.
This watch is also featured in a post on VRF.
