When I had it overhauled in 2105 I had RSC add the newer Sapphire Crystal with the laser coronet at 6 and a new Bezel Insert

Nice looking lineup. You don't really need anything else, but I suppose a more traditional dress watch would fit. I'd save the money you'd spend on another steel sports Rolex to buy something really special.

I just tried the blnr and compared it to my 16710. It's nice with the new changes and is heavier too.

BLNR. You'll be very pleased and it will stay on your wrist for a long while. Handsome timepiece.

+1 I have the polar 216570 and have a BLNR on order. Redundancy be damned - it's a stunning watch.

It was, no I never got it. I was more disappointed by the deep sea which I want, JC version.

How much is a 16710 worth. Mine is from 2003?

"it spends more time on the winder than my wrist"

Are there any detrimental sides to the mechanics of a new Rolex if it's stored for months on end without being wound, on a winder, or used ?
