I'm having a hard time remembering but did the 16710 GMT have a period during its facelift where it had hollow end links and no lug holes? I seem to remember it did.

xhype · 13 January 2013, 11:29 AM

no it didn't, what it had was solid end links and holes in the case which was around 2001 k serial

I have never seen that combination, there was SEL with lug holes through the case. So I guess with non SEL not excist.

Thanks boys! I must have been thinking of the solids with lug holes. Boy, the brain only has a finite amount of room for GMT knowledge.

Hollow end links won't fit correctly with the "no holes lugs" IIRC. No space holes inside end links to remove springbars

Please read 2 times next time, now I have google 10 minutes trying to find what you talking about.

Who dare to correct Mr Pierce when it comes to GMT?

joe100 · 13 January 2013, 11:46 AM

Haha so we did have a short period of no lug holes and hollow end links? I'm confused! Haha

If there are no lug holes, you can't put on a bracelet.

Maybe it have a white dial too.

joe100 · 13 January 2013, 11:53 AM

Okay, ask a stupid question... Lol

xhype · 13 January 2013, 12:01 PM

Notice how no one said I was wrong..... That's because dan was the one who made the K serial lol

joe100 · 13 January 2013, 12:19 PM

Must remember to read, think, THEN type.

I thought the OP was talking about no lug holes and hollow center links, which did exist. Then re read the post agreeing to the follow up comments, not confirming the OP's suspicions. I only had two beers.

I'm going to bed.
