Thanks all! Loving it so far. 20% of the purchase to match my BMW.

My PAM screwdrivers are far larger than link screws. Do you mean to get the full bracelet off or individual links?

Looks like current release with oyster bracelet and ceramic bezel?

It's the older model, look for the crown between Swiss and Made, it's not there, the new models have a crown on the dial between Swiss and Made.

So unless I'm mistaken this is the older model as Goonthree advised.

Yup! Last year of the 50 hour reserve if I’m not mistaken.

You’re absolutely right about this being ~2017. It’s a fabulous movement, with a longer reserve, and an incredible watch!

I have a 116710BLNR that I’m going to sell. It’s LNIB, and seriously, I’ve never worn it.
Have other watches getting much more wrist time, and it’s really time to let this baby go. Full set, of course.
Anyone’s interested, just PM me, and we’ll work something out.

From a fellow GMT enthusiast (I’ve got 1675, 16750, and a 126710), congratulations again for making a great decision!

Interesting…

Did you buy this watch from the gray market or from an AD?

Also, this is (apparently) a 116710BLNR and not the new 126710BLNR.

OP well aware of what he bought - see his post above …

To the OP, huge congrats! This is my favorite Rolex in my collection , got it just before they craziness began, and at a discount !

With regard to sizing , I highly recommend the Rolex screw driver like this one- pricey but well worth it and makes adjustments super easy. And fwiw I’ve never heated screws before removing and never re-applied loctite and have had zero issues in over 10 years.
