Thank you Fedex and DavidSW - GMT II 16710A Coke M-Series

I am so happy to get my hands on this watch. 3186 movement and Stick Dials! The watch is in excellent condition. You made my week. Below are the two photos, first one is from M-Series, second photo is the P and M. Let's hope this hype is a good investment for the next twenty years.

Here is a sneak peak!

Congratulations on your new watch but its not a rare watch, all the stick dial is just a simple font change .

Congratulations on your 16710 with 3186 movement.

As you probably already know from the price it is a good investment.

Now just sit back (for twenty years) and watch the Hype (another word for dollars) keep rising.

Good Luck and Nice Watch.

This is just beautiful. Great watch, with all the pedigree a true classic needs, along with some modern quirks!

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but what are the differences between the 2 models? I don't see anything.

The M series GMT II has the 3186 movement which is in the newer Ceramic model. This version doesn't have lug holes in the case. The new case without lugs holes probably started in 2005.

Congrats. That is a good one being it has the 3186. Not too many around I would guess.

I know a guy in London who bought a pepsi one. He has an amazing collection of Rolex and PP's and felt that it was a good one to buy and hold.
