16710 example - feedback on condition
Hi all - would like to get feedback on the condition of this 16710. It's a Y serial from 2004 with solid end links and lug holes.
I think the dial and bezel insert look pretty good, but am curious about the lugs (thickness, etc.) I've noticed some 16710s have pretty chamfered edges; did that change a lot through the model's run? Last edited by amn2110; 22 May 2020 at 07:07 AM.. Reason: photos uploaded |

Watch looks fine to me by those pics.
Sometimes the large chamfers are added during a service.

Chamfers became much smaller with the no-holes cases - introduced around late 2003.
As far as how the depicted GMT II looks, it seems to be a nice example based on the photos.

Is it just me or do the photo's look photoshopped (a lot)

I would want to see some photos taken in natural light if I'm trying to assess actual condition.
