GMT Master II 16710 (Non-US) swimpruf tags suffix

I was wondering what the suffixes of "NR" and "RB" mean on the swimpruf tags of the 16710 (GMT Master II)

These are the non-US versions which are sightly more cryptic
(I understand that the US versions have BLRO, LN and A to denote the different insert colors.)

Pls see pics, thanks!

I'd say that's a good educated guess.

Ah.....So "NR" could be NoirRouge then? (Coke)? Good guess! What is Lunette "L" in reference to though?

Sorry "NR" is probably "Noir" as in BLNR (BLeu Noir)

"RB" should be Rouge-Bleu but Rolex has always used BLRO maybe its just the US models, and Pepsi is "RB" in ROW

Also spotted this Coke with L "RN" (Its sold so don't get too excited!) See pic

My best guess for non-US swimprufs 16710:

NR: Black
RN: Coke
RB: Pepsi

Who knows really...Thanks Rolex!
