Incoming - my first GMT.

After tons of research, mostly here on TRF, I started to hunt for "my" 16710. I decided on the no holes case from the mid 2000's. Bezel color really didn't matter even though my first choice was the red/black coke. Just wanted to find the cleanest piece for whatever amount I spend. Didn't really have a number in mind. After reading every 16710 FSOT post here for months, I came across this beauty! It's a Z series that was RSC serviced in Feb. It looks brand new!! Also came with a red/blue bezel. One day I hope to pick up a black bezel and maybe a jubilee bracelet to created different looks. For now, I'll enjoy this classic look. Thanks for your help TRF members!!

Very nice! Great watch! I've always loved the coke... maybe Rolex will bring it back someday.
