The result: a 16710 from circa 2001. This is the version with lug holes and SELs. Came with all boxes and paperwork and 2 extra bezel inserts.

Loving it so far. Might be interested in picking up a jubilee bracelet for it to give it a different look from the Seadweller.

Thanks to Mark (drster) for the smooth transaction!

Thanks guys.

I like the Pepsi a lot but looking forward to trying the Coke. Just have to learn how to change bezels!

How hard is it to find a Rolex jubilee bracelet? Seems like it might be kinda difficult.

You can hunt the forums and over pay, or you can pop your bracelet off and then just get the jubilee fitted by an AD A(who may need to send the head to RSC NY, or not).

So my wife said she really likes it. Then she said, “I wish it were bigger.” Not the first time I’ve heard that...🤨

Nice one. Classic GMT.

I changed the bezel on my 16710 once, and got some good advice and tips from here.

Here is the thread if it helps:

I added some of my own pics at the bottom of the thread
