What's everyone's Pro's and Con's on the 116713? I love mine and do not have any gripes about it. Anyone put different bands or straps to change it up?

I'm not a TT guy, but if I was, that would be the one.

Always on bracelet for me.

I've seen some great looking bands but prefer to keep it on the original bracelet.

All that matters.

Personally don't like straps o bands but whatever you like...sounds like you are a little bored with it...this happens occasionally you felling will return :)

What's not to like? One of the best TT's out there, IMO.

Only pros for me, actually a glidelock would be suhweet.
I'm looking at strap options at the moment, Isorane is in the running but I have ss.
I would leave the tt be.

The 116713 is one of the sickest looking Rolexes made, TT or not.

Honestly, the only con I can come up with is if you don't like PCLs. But if you're looking at the GMT your facing PCLs anyway.

I'm not a strap guy but a member recently posted a pic of a 116713 on a strap and it looked really good. Would have posted a link but the pic is no longer there.

Sorry it took so long to get back to my own post I've got to go play on the boat all day. I do get the itch to have a little change with straps and bands. I currently have k straps making a calf skin strap for it. And I have a PAM on the horizon

Pros- many
Cons- none

...best Rolex model I've ever owned. No complaints whatsoever. I did have the bracelet brushed by Rolex and the rate adjusted a bit. Perfect watch for me.

Wow, Rolex brushed the PCLs on your 116713? I didn't think they would do anything that strayed from the original configuration.

Please post a pic. I've been wanting to see what the gold PCLs look like brushed.

Thanks!

Dang.... I didn't read the gold part of the OP's question.

I have the SS version.

But with respect to the brushing, I was unable to find an AD here in SoCal that was willing to do the work, and of course the RSC also refused. So while visiting Denmark recently, I found an AD/full service center in Copenhagen to do the brushing for approximately 50 USD. It came out absolutely perfect.

I'm not sure I'd want to do the brushing to a gold model however.
