Thank you

Alex,

Larry (Tools) did an excellent job of explaining the differences in our reference library.

There are several different models of each, so it is difficult to explain very succinctly. However, between my 2 models:

16700 - GMT Master = Quickset date, but hour/24 hour hands linked and unable to adjust the time independently from each other. Must use the bezel for 2nd timezone

16710 - Non quickset date, but has hour-hand "jump" feature so the hour/24 hour hand are independent of each other. It is not necessary to adjust the bezel for 2nd timezone if not wished.

Both have strengths/weaknesses for having their individual features, and one is not necessarily better than the other. I love both of mine.
