My new GMT-MASTER 16700 "R" Serial
(Trying this again...)
Hello I am new to the forums and just wanted to share my first ever Rolex and also to say "hello". So... "Hello!" ;) I picked this up yesterday and just wanted to share and perhaps even get some knowledgable opinions on this particular piece in regards to authenticity, condition, etc. From my research it looks as though it was probably made in 1988 and most likely has had its indices and hands replaced but i am a major noob in regards to these things. Any and all comments are welcome, and "hello" again ;) |

I don't see anything wrong with it.. It's been recently re-brushed but that's no biggy

Totally agreed the faded bezel is amazing color. Love those faded insert. My Pepsi and Coke 16710 fade to pinkish color too and perhaps one day will look like OP Watch.       Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to TRF and congratulations on your GMT. I enjoy my 166710LN and wear it almost every day for the past 8 years.
I love the faded bezel on yours.
