Icon5 CALLING ALL GMT 16710 owners...

Hi all,

I wanted some clarity on model numbers for the GMT II 16710.

I have read a number of posts and web sites which indicate the difference in model numbers for the 16710 based on the bezel colour.
For e.g.
- Black/red (coke) = 16710A
- Blue/red (Pepsi) = 16710B or 16710BLRO
- Black bezel = 16710N

I am confused as there seems to be some inconsistency by what I’ve seen as some owners simply have 16710 without any letter prefix.

I am looking to purchase a 16710 Pepsi and was recently offered a black bezel watch, which the dealer said he would switch to a Pepsi. I have raised this with them and they mentioned that there wasn’t a letter prefix and therefore no issue.
My concern is that this will be deemed a modification and may affect a potential resale in the future.

It may be that the prefixes were only on US models or on specific serials.

It would good see what other 16710 owners have - calling all GMT owners:
- Highlight which AD you sourced your GMT from?
- What series?
- The model number on your warranty?
- What you bought it as i.e. Black, Coke or Pepsi?

Looking forward to everyone's feedback...
