16700 vs 16710 which is more collectable?

Hello everyone,
I am new in the forum, and was wondering if which one is more collectable? Your reply would be appreciated.

All Rolex watches are collectible.

The GMT Master and the GMT Master II are different generation watches and each has it's followers.

no bad choices here but there is better functionality in the movement of the 16710

I'd say in general the 16710 is more desirable. This is due to the three time zone capability. I liked the 16700 due to the fast date set capability.

16700 has a (slightly) slimmer profile and the quickset function. It is also less common than the 16710. The 16710, of course, has that extra time zone functionality. Both are fine GMTs, and both are not as collectible as their predecessors, the 16750 and 16760, respectively.

they are both sought after and have their own merits as the others have listed. Its more what you want in the watch that matters.

Both are awesome and sought after. Although my impression is that most people are more into the 16710, but I think that's because the 16700 is not so well known.

16710 Is the way to go
To me I would certainly go with the 16710!
