New Addition To The Stable - 16713 GMT
Hi All,
Two-tone watches are extremely polarising in the watch community, I must admit that when I got seriously into watches around 2014 the last thing on my radar was a bi-metal piece. Over the years that followed I have seriously changed my tune. Last year I was fortunate to pick up my Birth Year Day-Date & I decided that I would supplement that piece with a reference 16713 GMT2 when the right one came along. I had to sacrifice a couple of pieces to partially finance this but since I made the decision I haven't looked back & I'm really enjoying this as part of the daily rotation. Despite being 15 years old this 2004 Y Serial this was really well looked after & has all of the boxes, paperwork & even the original swing tags etc (one features the original sales price of £3730). Overall as far as Rolex is concerned I've decided I'm a 4 & 5 digit man! A few pictures below to mark the occasion: |

That's a beautiful piece brother, enjoy it!
I don't think TT is really polarizing. They just don't retain or increase in value like steel does, but they are nice. |

Fantastic watch! I think TT is just either your thing or not. When I bought my first Rolex I couldn’t imagine owning a TT until I was a bit, ahem, more distinguished, but earlier this year I saw a CHNR for the first time in person and fell in love, I bought it on the spot! And I’m not that much more distinguished than when I bought my first Rolex!

Personally have never had the desire for a two tone but you might have just changed my mind, that is beautiful

The 16713 is not my favourite model, but yours looks particularly nice!
Do you know if the bracelet has been polished? |

Congratulations, beautiful watch.
I have owned a 16713 since new in 2002, it was my only watch until 2015. Still love wearing it today. And recently I've been wearing it on a rubber strap, which looks cool. |
