Thanks everyone! It is perfect. This is honestly the most accurate and precise Rolex I've had to date. 5 days any only 0.5 sec off (fast). It was serviced by Rolex in January. I'm not wearing this week however as the bezel is off to get a Pepsi. Can't wait to get it back together.

Maybe on the jubilee. Don't see many go for sale and when they do, seem to go quick. I guess I'll keep my eyes out. Even if I don't like it, I'll likely not be out much (or any) money if I don't like it.

You guys and your Jubilee comments got me looking. Looks like to be original for a lug hole case I'd need to get...
- 62510H bracelet with 502b endlinks (could get 502t but they have a cutout for the springbar tool which I don't need)

I really wish Rolex would just let you order a bracelet in the USA.

Congrats, great looking GMT! Like you, 5 digits was all I used to know and so are my natural favorites. The Jubilee 62510h is a great bracelet. My 1675 came with one, and I've tried it on with oysters and it just looks weird to me for some reason. So I keep returning it back to the jubilee.

5 digits great pic!

So, am I correct with the 502b comment? Can I see your 16710's backside with those exposed end links!?!?!

Hey Mik, I know my post was a bit confusing, I love 5 digits, but it just so happens my GMT is a 1675, so while it does have a 62510h, our endlinks may be different. Mine are 550s, I believe you are correct, 502b/t for yours. Also note the links before the endlinks are stamped 50s, meaning they take the thicker 2mm gmt springbars vs the DJ 62510h. Hope that helps.

Ah yes, maxi plots are there. 1675 is sweet. Thanks for the "50" note regarding the 2mm springbars.

Any Rolex GMT Master is a great GMT Master.
