That GV crystal is stunning :)

I really think the green edge, especially in this photograph is so alluring.

Good to know the prices are heading south but not soon enough for me

I hope those guys out there that are lucky enough to own one of these watches appreciates looking at that crystal, I mean telling the time, that's really a secondary issue.

I think this deserves a new emoticon/smilie called the green squid (sqid) for short.



And a couple more for good measure:

Steve, are you referring to the fact the 116710 came with the old style GMT booklet? I had the same problem, I wrote a letter to Rolex Australia, but they ignored it. How did you get your hands on one, Eddie?
