Ah, very nice. An early coke GMT II or GMT is one of my favorites. Want one someday.

The hardest part of buying a watch from a TRF seller is the waiting. With about 18-20 hours to go I am almost pacing the floor. I have looked for a 16710 Coke in this condition for a few years

Cheers everyone for all your positive feedback
Bob

ha ha ha ..... you are like me ... before even getting the watch, you want it to be a safe queen! I am with you man!

Maybe we should start a club of SafeQueenWeenies = guys who buy watches but are too scared to wear them

All kidding aside, don't put it in a safe, expecting some magic to happen ... wear them and wear them carefully... I rarely wear mine but I occassionally do.
Baby them if you want but wear them any chance you get. I do not wear them on a daily basis but I wear them...so do not put it in a safe and hide them..
