Hi I have been looking to purchase a 16710 for a while now, but I'm open to other GMT II's.

Wondering how I can best educate myself in terms of what to look for:

1) Serial for the watch and the clasp (making sure they match)
2) Dial
3) Hands
4) Box, papers, tags, pamphlets etc

Where can I learn about each reference / serial in detail to make sure I am getting an all-original, period correct timepiece?

Thank you

If you see something you like before pulling the pin maybe ask for advice with photos of the watch you like and the guys will help you along the way and hopefully point out any flaws

Try this thread in the Reference Library. It discusses the various GMT models as well as prices - but, the prices refer to retail prices from October 2017.
