Incoming new to me 16700

My tenth wedding anniversary was this month. Of course my wife isn't as keyed into Rolex as I am so I helped with this. I picked up a pre-owned 16700 and purchased the jubilee via a TRF user and the naturally faded insert from the Instagram of a fellow TRF user, respectively. The bracelet had its stretch fixed. I paid my local watchmaker to modify the 555 endlinks to fit this case and it works out essentially perfectly, actually. He even replaced the springbars with genuine Rolex springbars, regulated it and and replaced the crown gasket so it's ready for submersion. I still have the original oyster bracelet but something about the jubilee gives it a more unique and elegant look in my opinion.

Nice love yours! Do you drive with it? I agree in regards to being different. We absolutely have to use the bezel for GMT function.

I know right. No clue why this one faded this way. The seller said it may have been pool water? Wore it to the gym today so definitely keeping the health up thanks!
