A lot of new, want a big of vintage feel. Recommendations?

Hey all,

I absolutely love my collection, I am so over the moon that I've been lucky enough to get my hands on my favorite modern Rolex/AP models.

I think for my next piece I want to get something that has a bit more of a vintage feel. I really like the previous gen GMT with the slim lugs and brushed bracelet.

What things are there to look out for with the 16710 reference? Any particular serials that are better etc? I definitely wanna put a Pepsi bezel on it, can RSC do that? There's one near me in Beverly Hills.

Just looking for general advice before I begin my search :)

Thanks!!

CW

Research well, vintage is a mine field.

The 16710 isn't really vintage imho. For vintage you need to go to earlier iterations!!!

I’d recommend a sub or GMT with original matte dial. Pre 1984.
