Its here but will it stay?

I like it but I've got to say I am used to the ceramic generation now

I'm also a big fan of the ceramic professional models but the 16710 is the one aluminum insert reference I would like to add back into my collection one day.
I say keep it!

You can't go wrong with Pepsi. That'd be a keeper for me.

Been said before and will be again, if you want it taken off your hands I will oblige, I have no ceramic dials and you never miss what you never had. It is a classic wear and enjoy.

That looks great, if you decide to let it go I'm sure you'd have no trouble selling it here!

It's beautiful the only thing I would do is have a brand new bezel fitted the red looks a little faded.

I'm not so sure. I appreciate the 16710s and earlier gmts but I absolutely love my 116710LN. And the perfect second watch for me is the 114060. Post lots of pictures when you get yours.

You will not regret it, you have been there, done that now. It's out of your system and you are already moving forward.

I started going Rolex when they finally put quality clasps, the old "tuna can" clasps were really a NO WAY for me
