	The 16750 trades as a usable late-vintage GMT-Master rather than an auction trophy. Standard examples cluster GBP 8,000–15,000 / CHF 9,000–18,000 across the major houses depending on dial generation, lume status, and paperwork. Matte Pepsi examples in clean original condition carry the transitional-watch premium. Glossy spider dials with intact dial-side originality sit at the top of the standard market — original spider crazing reads as a positive collector signal because affected dials were so often replaced under service. The Omani Police Khanjar variant sits in its own tier above all of the above.		The 16750 trades as a usable late-vintage GMT-Master rather than an auction trophy.

	A small Sultanate-of-Oman commission carries the Khanjar emblem at six o'clock above the depth wording. The variant is one of the rarest 16750 sub-types in the auction record. A Bonhams 2021 New Bond Street lot (Bonhams 26687/68, c.1983) carried estimate GBP 70,000–100,000; the catalog noted that a comparable example sold the prior year had a serial number 53 positions away, supporting concurrent-issue production for a single Sultanate commission.

			A small Sultanate-of-Oman commission carries the Khanjar emblem at six o'clock above the depth wording. The variant is one of the rarest 16750 sub-types in the auction record. A Bonhams 2021 New Bond Street lot (Bonhams 26687/68, c.1983) carried estimate GBP 70,000–100,000; the catalog noted that a comparable example sold the prior year had a serial number 53 positions away, supporting concurrent-issue production for a single Sultanate commission. Phillips Hong Kong XI 2020 lot 1009 added a parallel anchor: four 16750 examples are known carrying the Royal Oman Police emblem in white print, all sharing 7.6 million serials and missing the inside-caseback serial repeat — consistent with concurrent batch production for a single commission. Khanjar 16750s sit in their own collector tier above the standard market.

	Period-correct delivery is the 78360 Oyster with 580 endlinks. Jubilee 62510H with 501 endlinks is the optional configuration.

Bracelet originality on a 16750 needs case-and-clasp-date verification rather than relying on the endlink stamp alone.

	Surviving examples wear both options. Matte Pepsi watches turn up on Jubilee more often than the glossy / black-bezel side; black and glossy-spider examples lean Oyster. Fitment as found at auction is not a reliable proxy for original delivery — the 1980s service window covers most surviving 16750s and bracelet swaps were common.
