Hi, to celebrate becoming a pledged member today, I went to take a second look at a K series 16710 in neighbouring country. I first saw the watch 6 days ago but wasn't sure of getting it. In fact I started a thread to ask for opinions here..

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=491932

I was told it was sold when I enquired about it few days ago but instead receiving a message from the seller that the watch was still available, as the potential buyer could not come up with the funds.

So I went through the forum looking for tips and advice, reading threads after threads on 16710, GMT, GMT II, the inserts, bracelets and what not as this is my first pre-owned watch purchase.

After scrutinising the watch based on what I learnt from the forum, and most importantly the confidence I have on the seller, I purchased my 4th Rolex..

Thank you TRF and all that have posted and shared your experience, views, opinions on Rolex watches, I have gained so much understanding and knowledge on this amazing brand. Cheers!

ps: TRF also makes me wanting more Rolex

Miri. Happened to talk to the owner of a watch shop and he took out this watch from his safe.. The rest is history.

So this All Watches carries pre-owned Rolex? Any online site to view their watches? Thanks.
