Holy cow! What in the world happened to this watch? This is just terrible. I hope no one buys this watch...

Yeah it looks absolutly awful! I didn't know it was possible to create something so ugly looking. It says its a 16700, but the dial is from a 16710. I wouldn't stay in the same country as this watch.

X2. Its just a thin so called ceramic press fit insert would doubt if it would have the complete ball bearing turning bezel mechanism.Myself would not touch it with a 15ft barge pole.

I even doubt there is anything ceramic about it at all. Most likely a polymere lookalike insert . Just weird looking .
The seller does disclose the fact that it is aftermarket .. can we report it just based on that ?

if they can make a fake Rolex, I'm pretty sure they can make a fake bezel insert.

Well they do that all of the time ..
This is a real GMT and the seller only added an aftermarket bezel and discloses it properly .
Not like he is presenting it as a 116710LN .

Not saying that I appreciate these practices , but Ebay has no reason to pull this listing .

I didn't know a Ceramic bezel was an option back then.....

Isn't a 16700 a Master not a Master II

That looks totally screwed.

EVERYTHING is wrong about that watch...

Good catch

That's what I call an epic fail.......!

Its not to my taste, but if someone likes the look and wants it, I have no problem with it. Seller disclosed it properly and it is up to the buyer.
