Congrats!!

paul2g2 · 10 September 2011, 05:07 PM

I love Rolex I need to find a connect in Massachusetts.

GeoGio Greece · 10 September 2011, 05:41 PM

Congrats ! Good selection.

Now you need also a JB bracelet, and all the inserts.

You can change the inserts easily, ( see all tutorials, beware the small wire spring !!), as well as the bracelet, with a tooth pick, as you have lug holes.

Then, you will have many combinations, and "many" watches for all seasons, circumstances, etc !

My 16700, X - series bought in 1994 new.

bluemartinifan · 10 September 2011, 08:41 PM

Very Nice! Black insert for fall - and Pepsi for summer

r s gibson · 11 September 2011, 11:06 AM

Quick set date is also my choice 16750 8.2m, 16700T.

Very nice, now all you need is a nice 1675 to pair with his younger brother...

springer · 11 September 2011, 11:47 PM

Congratulations on your purchase. I have several GMT's and the 16700 is one of the most functional GMT's with the quick-set date feature. Enjoy!

great pick but i prefer with the original bezel. 16700 is only fitted with BLRO.

Collectible or otherwise, they're just a fantastic watch to enjoy having on your wrist. More so if a 2nd time zone is something that you need to know at any time

Timber Loftis · 9 October 2011, 05:06 PM

I had a 16710 and loved it. You've got yourself 6 watches in 1 there if you get the pieces. Get a Pepsi and Coke bezel -- these are easy to switch out, especially if you spend less than $20 on the proper tool. That gives you 3 permutations. Then you add the Jubilee bracelet. Now, it's up to 6 permutations. My only gripe was that for us laymen, the bracelets are a pain to switch out. But I did switch out the bezels every season.

I do note that I don't believe your watch will have any special collector's value. Many were made over its lifespan, and the GMT complication was updated to allow for independent hour hand movement, which many collectors see as an important improvement.

colpol · 9 October 2011, 08:27 PM

Nice watch & with the black bezel too !! Can't understand why so many go with the pepsi when black looks a 100 times better (imho)

So you rely more on an internet resource than a Rolex catalogue
