Here's mine. A 16700 W serial (1995) with a "Coke" insert. Would rather have had the "Pepsi" but have since warmed up to the Coke color a bit. Besides, inserts are an easy change

.
The crown guards are a bit on the thin side and likely due to over polishing however when I researched the 16700 next to the 16710, I did consistently notice the crown guards to be just a bit thinner even though it's been said to have the same case as the 16710. Of course much has been written about crown guards not always cut perfect from the factory. The watch came on the original oyster but I am a true sucker for a jubilee on a GMT.
