Hi
I recently bought a gmt pepsi.the model no on the card is 16710R. I have seen 16710A or 16710B but never seen R in the end. Can anybody clarify this.
Thanks

My D Series Coke model number reads R16710A...Are you sure the R is at the end of the number?

Yes R is at the end it us a 3186 movement and it comes with the plastic warranty card

Speed · 2 December 2010, 01:00 PM

What series? Perhaps the last 3186's had an R as a prefix.

moviefreak · 2 December 2010, 01:02 PM

R means Replica or Refinished...

Seriously could it be R for red? No idea..

kahoot · 2 December 2010, 01:03 PM

It is late Z series

Maybe Rolex switched the first letter around for the last series?

It came originally with a black bezel.

It came with the pepsi bezel

When I Googled this: rolex "16710R"

I came up with a number of hits, seemingly all from Europe. Is it possible that the "R" was used for non-US watches? And you are in the UK......

Any thoughts about this possibly being the answer?

Yes you might be right but the uk gmt models normally don't come with N or B in the end .they just write 16710
That was the reason I was a bit surprised

I think Grissom is on to something...

I always understood the suffix was just a paperwork thing

Europe...Asia.. Etc

16710 Coke
16710 BLRO Pepsi
16710 N Black

USA

16710A Coke
16710B Pepsi
16710N Black

Curious, but not that it means anything I suppose, just another foible for us guys to ponder

Enjoy your watch, its a beauty
