Incoming..... GMT

Just received my first Rolex sports watch. A never polished 16710 with box and papers.

First picture is a combination of my two hobbies. Bourbon and watches. Cheers everyone and special thanks to the TRF members that assisted me along the way!

Bourbon and Watches’s. You are heading down a very slippery slope Pal.
Congratulations. Looks very nice. Must have been a very pleasurable sip while staring at your watch.

Very nice, congrats - but it's far from vintage!

Congrats, looks clean too. And yes the 16710 is still far from vintage, wait till R starts rolling out a 7 digit model. Then we can start calling these vintage.

Can early tritium 16710 be considered as vintage?
