Looks good, Grissom. I have a soft spot for that model and bezel.

Thanks to everyone once again, for all their nice supportive and positive comments. Happy Valentine's Day!

I agree

I really enjoy wearing my 16700. I miss it when I wear another watch, even a Rolex.

I have a problem rubbing the clasp on the desk and marring it. I read a tip from someone that using the green part of a 3M Scotchpad would rub it out without causing damage. I tried it on my Omega Titanium Seamaster and it worked great. It looked brand new. I then tried it on the 16700 and it also worked great. Looked brand new! JMHO

A fine example indeed Griss, nice pickup!

Beautiful watch. Years ago, I had the chance to purchase a GMT just like that and instead bought another brand. 9 years later, I came to my senses and the one I bought was worth about 10% what I paid for it. Had I bought the GMT instead, it would have appreciated in value from what I would have paid back then ...

Rolex = smart long term watch purchase if you buy them right
