Richard Hammond's new Rolex 16710

The new Grand Tour Season 3 is out. At the end of the show spotted, what looks like a Rolex 16710 on Richard Hammond's wrist. Guess his old Sea Dweller which survived the crash got replaced by the GMT Master II.

Have not watched it yet but heard S03E01 was a good one. And I love that 16710.

It was a cool episode. But somehow seems like they are loosing their touch a bit. Too much graphics in the show. His watch the eye catcher! Beautiful piece.

He's had it awhile. You can see it in the episode a season or two ago where they race public transit against the Ford GT.

I hope the rest of Season 3 is better than Episode 1 was. I was bored.

I can't even lie, as cheesy as this is, I always get a kick out of Rolex or watch spotting on tv.

It was still running when Clarkson gave it back to Hammond. Hopefully he sent it to the service center for some TLC and is wearing it again. What a reminder of still being alive.

The BBC's 'Top Gear', is now an absolute shadow of the great program it once was, when Clarkson and his team were the the hosts.
It's gone all PC.

It’s still very good but they had to fire Clarkson. He punched his producer.

His so called SD that survived the crash was little more than a staged fairy tale.

If it was the same producer that proposed, 'americanising' the program, then he has my total support! (apart from the punch,...maybe).


Excuse me whilst I hammer that can of worms, firmly shut.

What do You base that on? Any proof it was faked, or just adding Your own "conspiracy theory" for shits and giggles?

Clarkson seemed to be wearing an IWC Pilot Chrono too, but I couldn’t get a good enough view to make sure
