Hard to imagine a more versatile reference. A couple of mine can tell some stories.

I'm with you all the way Dan.

You've got the best GMT set-up Dan ... oyster and jubilee bracelets, coke and pepsi inserts ... very complete.

Great pics Dan.....as usual!
I am off to beautiful Siberia (for work) today, and guess what will be my traveling companion? None other than my new friend the 16700 I plan on using it on all my upcoming trips, put a few miles on it as it were!

One of my favourites for sure...

After getting the new ceramic SubDate I think the 16750 or 16710 will be my next Rolex purchase (and hopefylly last) as I then think to start collecting vintage watches from variuos other brands!

Great pics Dan!

I want this watch so much. Haven't found right one yet though, but hopefully it won't be long now. Almost a year trying to find "it", is way to long in my book... Got to get my act together.

Thx for sharing!

Cheers,
Joe

Mine like yours was made in Switzerland (a coincidence don't you think?), sold in Amsterdam made it to me via Norwich, England and has been on a few trips since including meeting your GMT in a pub in London
