My First Rolex...Cannot stop smiling!!

Hi everyone, just brought my first rolex today, and i have to say...i just cannot stop looking at it. Its a GMT master II 2004, got a couple of pics but the camera is not to good! Just wondered what people thought about the 16710???
I paid £2350 and the watch looked BN, did i get good deal?

Happy Rolexing!!!!!!

PS..First time in a forum, so hope you understand everything?

Welcome!

Humm.......what do I think of the 16710

Well....Multiple timezones, the ability to use the bezel as a timing device, jump-hour feature, the ability to swap inserts for a different look. The most versatile reference made and one with such an outstanding history.

I like them....a lot!!!!
