Congrats on the GMT! Looks great, and every time I see that plastic, it makes me want some. I love that glow.

The safest place for your watch is on your wrist.

Nice trade! Love your GMT! Have been thinking about doing a similar swap with my 16610 Sub.

Coke inserts aren't available for the older plastic GMTs
Hey Puffy, what do you mean about not liking the black insert on modern GMT' as opposed to this one?

I love these all folks. Most beautiful with that plastic glow. Looks warmer than Sapphire.

not a huge fan of 16710s with black inserts...

black looks far better on the plastic gmts..

I think the plastic crystal is nicer than sapphire too. I agree that it gives the watch a warm glow. Overall I think the vintage sports watches are easier to read too.
