Enjoyed this one too JP. One of the coolest looking GMT. Love the aluminum on duo color GMT bezels. Don't know why but I think the cerachrome works best on black. Reason why I decided to get my GMT form Tudor.

Great shot!

Nice review. And as per your usual, great pics. Thanks for sharing.

m1am1 · 19 January 2020, 10:32 PM

Looks really good to me :)

I think it would be going for this instead of the 126710!

Do I think 16710 is worth the €6000 price tag that the market seems to demand for them at the moment — even for a beat-up T<25 tritium model? Absolutely not.

Reading this great review for the 1st time in 2020 and this specific part hurts

Oh yes. The prices have gotten crazy. I think there might even be a bubble now. I wouldn't use that world lightly with Rolex but 16710 production numbers are very high.

I don't mind the prices increasing but on the other hand I don't get any benefit from it, either. Not going to sell mine anyway. Cheers.

Worth is a relative concept. Is a modern Daytona ’worth’ the 25k some people are willing to fork out. Is any Rolex really worth the price?

Great write-up, Juho. Thank you.

After selling my 1675 a few years ago, I recently bought a 16710 and am loving it!

That's a beauty Stan!

Actually I prefer the 16710 with your bezel font (Sans Serif). I've always wondered why some bezels have that font and some don't. I guess it's the same kind of mystery as the dial print differences.

Does anyone know if it's related to some serials or some specific production era, like 1999, 2000 or 2001 models?

Juho, I bought the watch pre-owned from Bernard Watch in Austin, Texas, and the previous owner had swapped the original black bezel insert for the aftermarket BLRO insert in the photo. The original Rolex black insert was included along with the box and papers. Personally, I don't have a problem with aftermarket inserts. In fact, I recently bought an aftermarket ceramic BLRO insert that I ground down a fraction of a millimeter to fit the stock 16710 stainless steel bezel ring. Here's a photo:

Whoa, that's a trip. Would have thought it was a Photoshop if not for your description. The modern bezel look without the hideous case isn't too bad...

Well that certainly looks interesting. I'm not sure if I like the bezel insert over the original but at least it's different.

Juho, I completely understand it's not for everyone. The main reason I like the aftermarket ceramic insert is that it doesn't scratch nearly as easily as the anodized aluminum inserts, so IMHO the ceramic is both more practical and more aesthetically pleasing.

Thanks. Much appreciated. My review site has grown nicely. It's all non-commercial and purely for the love of watches.
