The dial has aged cleanly to a nice \"egg shell\" patina and the insert retains much of its factory color with minimal distracting wear. The hands were professionally cover matched to the dial by True Patina with a service invoice for documentation. The case remains thick with some chamfer visible on all corners. The bracelet 78360\/580 shows a G date code. It shows medium stretch, and retains 13 links, fitting an approximate 7.75 inch wrist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52677453119764,"sku":null,"price":14900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-gmt-16750-pepsi-transitional-box-pouch-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1781964430","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-gmt-16750-pepsi-transitional-box-pouch","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
