16700 GMT Unpolished and Expensive
This GMT lists on EBay.
Watch itself and set seem ok to me. I question the very high price and unpolishedness:) Case is not very crisp and chamfers are rounded. Possible from daily wear only? It certainly doesn’t seem overpolished for that matter. https://m.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-16700-M...-/292426995110 |

Price is way too high, you're right..
He's marking that price up due to it being unpolished, not like it's even vintage. I'd rather take that model polished any day lol. |

In this case, I don't see anything that would suggest the description is inaccurate. However, unpolished does not mean unworn. Some would rather have an original, unpolished case that is completely beat-up than one that's been polished but in mint condition. Regardless, there is some seriously crazy-town prices out there, and far too much weight being given to the "unpolished" thing, IMO. For the asking price above, I would expect it to literally be a NOS time-capsule in mint condition. YMMV... |

Case might be unpolished but the 16700 GMT never came with a "coke" bezel insert.
