For the 16710 lover - Show & tell re. my newest acquisition

Hey guys,

I haven't been very active on this forum aside from hopping the parts classified section.

Last week I made my first Rolex purchase thru one of our very own veteran members - Capt. Serdal22.

The GMT has always been one of my person favorites and finding a clean one in Canada has always been a challenge. I see them pop up in the US all the time, but theres the worries of getting it thru custom without paying a fortune in duty.

She dates back to 1995, running on 20 years old and still looks new. I've actually got a few months of warranty still since its last overhaul in March of 2013.

Anyhow, enjoy the photos and thanks to Serdal for a wicked transaction!

With the Pepsi insert installed...































And with the black insert installed (was included in my bundle)...

Thanks guys. She hasn't left the wrist since I got her!

Now having tried the Pepsi and black inserts - makes me wonder how the Coke insert would look. May have to find myself one to complete the trio

Excellent choice, well done!

Yes, get all the GMT accessories that make it the most versatile Rolex ever made.

Beautiful! I have a 16710 but with only the black bezel. I think someday I might buy a Pepsi bezel just to change things up, but not anytime soon. Congrats!
