Latest Arrival: Another Ref 16760 GMT Master II "Fat Lady" with copper-toned Patina...

Err...Orchi has to find a way to ease the itch & fancy for
Rolex Ref 16760 GMT II "Fat Lady"...naughty naughty thoughts!

Briefly...this Ref 16760 GMT II "Fat Lady" was 1st introduced to Orchi
by Buddy Ben of NBTimes of Hong Kong...

After spending some time on checking through "her" vital statistics...
with Buddy Ben..."she" was "engaged" to Orchi.

Subsequently...a reasonably handsome amount of "dowry" was negotiated...
finalized & paid.

The "Fat Lady" is Orchi's for keeps...
It has...

S/NOs. 9,46x,xxx ~ circa. 1985
Rolex Cal. 3085 movement is fit & sharp...
Original factory Oyster case body...that is still
very attractive & sexy...
She remains probably...to be UnTouched or brutalized by machines...
She has only been carefully Hand Polished...as not to harm
any of the original Rolex factory bevel edges of her sexy case body...
perhaps to get rid of some accumulated scratches/wrinkles...of her
age of 24 years or so...
But the same cannot be said about her dial face...
for she has developed the natural "crazed webbings" which is...
synonymous with the Rolex original "vintage" flaws...
& few minor scares that CANNOT be treated even by the most
genius of any watchmakers that Orchi knows...at present.
Nonetheless...neither has Orchi seen or known of any other 16760 GMT II "Fat Lady"
which has the near perfect copper-toned Patina on her markers & hands...
She has its original factory dressing of 78360 & 501 End Links Oyster bracelet.
No marriage or divorce papers though...
