I had a 16760 and now a 16710. I would go with a 16710 for the versatility of various bezel options. You can put those bezels on a 16760 but that's not a proper watch setup and I could never get used to this.

Download Tapatalk for pics. It's a pain in the a$$ trying to post picture on the forum, at least for me it is..

OP here.

I bought the 16710.
Excellent condition with all original papers, receipt, hang tag and even green sticker in the back. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks all.

Yes, they interchange.

However, the 16760 never came in anything except the red/black insert - it was the original "birth" color and watch for the GMT II. Putting in a different insert would be blasphemous.

I would have gone with the original GMT II, the 16760, but there was no wrong choice here.
