My 16710 is not unpolished and it has no box nor papers - but I enjoy it still. :)

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) I cannot wear the new 904l bracelets very long due to a nickel allergy but would understand the allure of such a bracelet swap. Although in practice I cannot fault the old style bracelet especially once the little tweaks are know to make it fit tighter, its very comfortable. |

I bought mine, a Y-series GMT-II NIB with a black bezel, about the same time for about $3,200. It's my favorite watch. I would never part with it.

These things aren't worth 8000.00. Fools and their money proven once again. HQ Milton always has an excellent selection.

I'm actually wearing mine today. I bought it off of TZ, back when they only had one Rolex section and most of the knowledgeable guys posted there frequently.

Well they do...but often "vintage" and very well-loved. Note - even for more modern pieces they do t often offer box / papers if that's important to you. |

It's somewhat odd. It almost seems like that's the niche that they have chosen to occupy. On the other hand, their watches often have some of the most "honest" and nice cases that you're likely to find.

2005, un-polished 16710 complete set for £3,750 from a dealer in the U.K. But now the prices just seem to keep going up and up. |

Polishing is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it's done right and not too frequently. I bought my 10-year old 16710 from the original owner, and it had never before been serviced or polished. The first thing I did was take it to Rik Dietel for a complete overhaul and it came back looking brand new. |

I've been watching the prices of the 16710 really increase over the past couple years.
I think the popularity of the watch is because of it's versatility in being able to change 3 different bezels. Also, having the third hand complication is great for people who travel or even just want a different look to their watch over the classic Sub. You get more "bang for the buck" with the GMT II than any other Rolex in my opinion. |
