Model numbers of a Stainless Steel GMT II
Hey Guys,
Reference 16710 Do all GMT IIs have the same reference number or are they simply known as a 16710 with a Pepsi bezel etc.  Aaron

You are correct. All current S/S GMTII use the same reference number that you mention, i.e., 16710 regardless of bezel

clarification on T
Maverick: If I'm not mistaken, the T denotes the Y-series AFTER the change to the no-holes case was made. Early (lug holes) Y-series are simply 16710, and the later ones are 16710T. The F and D series models are simply 16710 again. Tim

Below are images of my TT Blue Sub (very late Y-series) and my SD (early F-series). BOTH watches have the letter 'T' after the ref.no.
And BOTH watches were without lug holes.

One exception is the SS/Plat YM which has just 16622. I do not think it ever changed from the original design in 1997 so it never had holes. =) maverick
BTW, nice pics, JJ

You're right about the YM. It came in from day one without lug holes on the sides so the question of the letter 'T' never did arise. JJ
