Latest acquistion - non vintage coke
I have always wanted to give the colorful inserts a try whether it was a coke or pepsi. When this U serial Coke 16710 became available, I said, what the heck, let's give this non vintage a try. So here it is, the first modern Rolex non-matte dial I have ever purchased(The Daytona is a gift from my wife so it does not count!).. I find this watch great for casual wear and it's actually pretty neat!
Enjoy your Sunday gang!      Thanks for reading! Best, Fred Last edited by red1108nyc; 8 August 2011 at 04:26 AM.. Reason: wrong word used |

do you find that the lume on the hour and minute hands are slightly different color (less yellow) than those on the plots and GMT hand?

Actually I do! I am guessing the hands and replaced luminova hands from the 2 prior service. But this piece is in my eyes, modern, so it really doesn't bother me that much. If this is a vintage piece then HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM! Good eyes! Best, Fred |
