First Rolex GMT Coke

Hi everyone, not new to Swiss watches but this is my first Rolex, glad to have gotten my hands on one that I have liked the look of for years. I was involved in the "desert bond" post by Philipp as Alex (the guy looking to find out about my friend's 6538 that he came out and bought). When I met Philipp his enthusiasm for the brand made me decide it was finally time to get one, just was a matter of finding the right one. Here's my 16710 Coke Stick Dial (or "error dial" even though I don't consider it an error cause it looks great to me). Love the look of this and hope it will be the start of a collection that I'll be able to grow over time. Also looking forward to learning a lot here, I've skimmed the surface and wow there's a lot of knowledge here!

Dan. You're killing me with your GMT pics! This is the exact reason I snatched one up this week! If you could refrain from posting pics with the jubilee and different natos I would greatly appreciate it!

Since this place is loaded with know, could someone please explain why this is called an "error" dial? I really love GMT's just not sure what's "wrong" with the dial ( I agree it looks GREAT! )
