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 |

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!
