My apologies for procrastinating posting on this thread! The GMT is one of my favorites. As a frequent traveler who doesn't like losing accuracy when hopping time zones, I love the jump hour hand. I also use the rotating bezel to quickly check the time for family and work colleagues on the other side of the world.

Here's my 116710 on this cool Austin day. Picked this up in Tokyo in December 2014.

And back when I first got it, when it still had PCL's
Name: FullSizeRender 2.jpg Views: 1119 Size: 119.7 KB
Name: IMG_3245.jpg Views: 1099 Size: 81.1 KB

Here's my gone-but-not-forgotten 16710 right after I opened the package from DavidSW.
Name: IMG_2565.jpg Views: 1107 Size: 104.1 KB

And after it got a new Pepsi insert from RSC BH
Name: IMG_2579.jpg Views: 1110 Size: 95.4 KB
Name: FullSizeRender 3.jpg Views: 1093 Size: 77.4 KB

I had both for a while, but decided that it didn't make financial sense for me to have money tied up in two GMT's, and that I preferred the clasp, bracelet, dial, crown and ceramic insert of the newer model. Definitely miss the 16710 sometimes though.

This is my 2nd 16710. Bought the first one from Dalip about 4 years ago (Pepsi) and just picked up this Coke in HK last week.

Thanks, it was ABC Watchwerks

Came back looking pretty much identical to the factory brushing on my Explorer bracelet.

The 16710 with a Coke bezel is one of my all time favorite watches. What an iconic, timeless piece.

One day...
