Here's my 16710N with a used Rolex 116710LN Cerachrom insert shaved to fit the 16710 bezel insert recess. This watch has no aftermarket parts.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

Stan I admire your ingenuity but I’ve seen that watch of yours with its original serif black and for me that’s the ultimate one and only.

Thank you! I often put the original serif black insert on the watch and like it equally. I don't want to scratch the original, so wear it with the ceramic insert more often.

That’s what I’m talking about! Yep those great serif inserts need protecting. I have an unused Pepsi that’s sole purpose is to add value to whoever sells my watch someday. Only thing I know is it won’t be me.

I hear you! My 16710 is the one thing I'll hang onto 'til the end. It's the most versatile Rolex reference ever.
