BLRO Arrived!
Happy to say, my watch arrived and now is on my wrist.

Have to decide whether to make it a daily wearer.

Must say after a lot of reading that nothing on the Bezel looks like purplish under normal daily light. It looks pretty perfect to me, but obviously not similar to the 16710.

Jubilee fits like a glove and it’s weight is ideal.

Thanks again for all of the sharing and input.

Beautiful. I believe Rolex was trying to capture the essence of the Bakelite 6542 first GMT. So you can pay $65-$90k for decent example of the Bakelite ,Or buy this one for $9k-18k!
